[quote=Anonymous]Currently I’m a project manager for a large F10 company. I work remotely and I’ve worked here on various teams since 2013. Currently, I love the team I’m on and really enjoy the job.

Today I was informed that I am taking over IT release responsibilities from another coworker who is getting transferred to another area. I had no issues with this - it basically adds additional paperwork but it’s fairly straightforward and not a lot of additional time to my day.

I have no technical background in what we do - I manage the work.

Was all fine and dandy until I was told that I am expected on IT release days to stay up online until the release is finished and successful.

Our releases happen at 8pm and typically wrap up at 3am. The team members who are doing this work are in India so these hours are regular working hours. My role on this day is to start the zoom call and send an email when the deployment is finished at about 3am. That’s it. I cannot answer their questions if they have any.

This is exactly what the other person did. Except he does have a tech background and he is in India.

I can’t see how I am adding any value whatsoever to this process. Plus, we have an entire team of people in India who are performing this work and it’s within their normal working hours.

I am the only person on this team in the USA.

We also have a stand up at 8am the next day that I run.

I’ve already pushed back on this and my manager said we will chat later (but he does understand where I’m coming from at least).

This process happens twice a month.

Any thoughts? Would you be upset at this? Would you push back?
