minus-squareHazzia@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up29·1 年前Man fuck those guys. Not a sysadmin myself, but from what I hear the position is criminally underappreciated. Why is it so hard for people to understand that if things aren’t breaking, it means people are doing their job correctly?
minus-squareSeven@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up23·1 年前Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go. It goes hand in hand with the “if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward” line of thinking.
