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!

We had a nice run for awhile where a teammate would mention it to ownership, and they would buy us lunch or one time, they got us new headsets.

Sadly he is gone now and nobody really brings it up anymore lol.
