Getting Paged

Definitions

Being alerted for an operational issue, especially outside normal quiet focus time. In engineering slang, getting paged is both a literal event and a mood shift from normal work into incident response.
In plain English: Receiving an alert that pulls you into dealing with an operational problem.
Example: "She stopped worrying about the design doc as soon as she started getting paged, because a real production issue had just taken priority over every planned task."
