Scenario

When on-call partnerships break down and responsibility becomes uneven

My site reliability partner and I have been on-call together for two years and lately when systems go down he disappears for hours without explanation and I end up handling everything alone, but when I try to bring it up he acts like I'm being dramatic and I'm starting to question whether I'm the problem.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One person is carrying more weight in a critical partnership, but the imbalance hasn't been acknowledged by both parties.
