So I work for a entity where if there is an emergency (flood fire that kind of shit) they open up a “command center” cringe I know. Anyways my department is a part of this to provide data to the fire department and stuff like that.
My boss keeps saying I am thier backup if something happens, and is implying that they won't be available if there is an emergency so I will be the one called to participate.
What bothers me is that they are the dept manager so it's their responsibility to be on call not mine. So I'm supposed to act like I can be called in on the weekend or anytime time of day. I am paid hourly so receive nothing to live like I am on call. Also boss is playing dumb with the software we are supposed to use during the emergency, acting like they don't know how to use it. I feel it is a way to shirk responsibility to me.
Anyways has anyone else had to deal with something similar?
