We never make minor production changes on Fridays or right before holidays. It is always a bad move because if you get into trouble your odds of not being able to teach the necessary resources are greatly increased.
Major production changes are only done during a scheduled downtime which is planned well in advance to make sure everyone is available, including third party vendors.
It was a Saturday, but I was on-call when Networking shit the bed. One of the main trunk lines degraded and they took almost five minutes to switchover to backup 'cuz their automated degredation monitoring was on a five-minute interval. XD
