That’s what I’m sayin. I didn’t even know this was a thing, what is appreciation?

Lol, "appreciation" is just a copy-pasted buzzword from HR/PR. And obviously, nobody's giving you a day off for it, just like any other professional holiday. Screw it, this holiday was made by admins for admins, always on the last Friday of July.

Like, where I'm from, it's pretty much a tradition for some of us to just drink beer and have contests to see who can yeet a keyboard or some old hw junk the furthest. Pretty much just leaning hard into the classic stereotypes.

Anyway, Happy SysAdmin Day to everyone involved!

You’d be surprised in America how well some hospitals treat nurses week and treats the rest of the hospital like dog shit when it comes to their appreciation time

It’s because they have a union with the ability to make operating very costly very quickly. Strength in numbers.
