My boss likes our engineers to work overtime to fix bugs. One of his favorite arguments is that being a responsible engineer when you know it is exactly your codes that cause the bugs, how can you sleep well without fixing them?! You just have to do whatever it takes to fix them, if that means work overtime, well you are being responsible.
The company culture is somewhat based on this "shame culture" that how can we let our software products have so many bugs, we "voluntarily" work overtime to fix bugs.
I am a responsible software engineer. Sometimes I worked hours to fix a bug in my spare time. But I really hate to see my boss think it is natural to work overtime to fix bugs. How can I argue against that?
I am from China but I don't think this fact is relevant here. I want to know any reasonable arguments to my boss claim.
BTW, you guys probably heard about 996.ICU. My company has not gone that far to demand 996 and it does like we work overtime to fix bugs "voluntarily".
