Holy Shit... thanks for throwing my ass under the bus MR Head of Engineering... I wasn't even oncall... yesterday.

DO I NEED A FUCKING DISCLAIMER THAT OFFERING A SUGGESTION OF HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM TO A TEAM MEMBER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE VOLUNTEERING TO WORK ON THE PROBLEM?

So yesterday, shortly after my shift started the day shift oncall hit me up about an issue (out of control log file growth). I offered a couple of suggestions that ended with "if this doesn't work, escalate it to Team X"

Somehow the head of Team X took that as me stating I would fix it.

I was not oncall yesterday.. so when said team member said "Okay, cool, will do." that was the end of it for me.

Apparently, said team member tried those things then snoozed the page for 8 hours... and it did not come up until night shift hand off... at no point did it get escalated by night shift either and so a customer impacting incident went on for 19 hours with no action taken...

Both members of my team involved in this... kinda dropped the ball.. they are also not under my direct supervision since being placed under the new east coast, day shift team leader...

but somehow this engineering manager is trying to throw me under the bus for it. WTF

Thankfully my boss and his boss... and slack and pagerduty show I had literally nothing to do with the whole shit show beyond my suggestion of "try these things, if they don't work, make sure to escalate it."
