I also feel like a lot of companies and managers overestimate how important their services are. A lot of time it's about managers saving face or having a record to prove to the boss. When you're working on something stupid after hours merely because your boss told you it is down it is just maddening. It's a fire that no one cares about, but you have to put it out IMMEDIATELY.
Now sometimes you just need things to work, but at least set up a proper on call rotation, shifts, or whatever. But most people honestly don't need this.
