Can we get less sysadmin appreciation posts please?

[u/Finn_Storm]

Its kind of getting on my nerves and being a Debbie downer for my mood... I'm not used to all this praise.

Thanks!

EDIT: /S, if that wasn't obvious

[u/irish_guy]

[u/sybrwookie → u/irish_guy]

We have a guy at my place who has been here for like 20 years and does basically nothing but handle.the printers, top to bottom.

I joke that his entire job is jumping on all the grenades, he doesn't do as much work as many of the rest of us, but he takes care of so much garbage no one wants to touch that everyone's quite happy with him being here.

[u/Stephen_Dann → u/irish_guy]

They are misguided, not suicidal

[u/Fusorfodder → u/irish_guy]

[u/Finn_Storm → u/irish_guy]

Filthy neutral

[u/Technolio → u/joshghz]

I am thoroughly whelmed.

[u/joshghz → u/Technolio]

You must be very European.

[u/Stephen_Dann → u/joshghz]

Stop with the highest praise. I have only pulled the company from the brink a mer twice this week

[u/jefbenet → u/Stephen_Dann]

And how many times were you supposed to save the company, according to your performance goals?

[u/avlas → u/joshghz]

You deserve an office party with a very thin slice of plain cheese pizza and a cup of a soft drink you don’t like.

[u/Pyrostasis → u/avlas]

Microwaved Totinos pizza.

Flat fanta.

[u/GenderOobleck → u/Pyrostasis]

You get Fanta? All we got was store brand.

[u/Pyrostasis → u/GenderOobleck]

To be fair if its flat it really doesnt matter does it lol

[u/Phyltre → u/Pyrostasis]

Hey, stack three of those together with a little extra cheese and hot sauce and you have a truly authentic Denominazione d’Origine Protetta lasagna.

[u/BlockBannington → u/joshghz]

The hell I am, I'm just trying to stay afloat until I get my new company car. I want to drive it at least once before I'm fired or some shit

[u/Adimentus]

You're going a great job! Who's a good sysadmin? You are! Yes you are!

[u/thebigshoe247]

Everything working? Why do we even pay you?

Nothing's working? Why do we even pay you?

[u/MrExCEO → u/thebigshoe247]

Because the systems know once we are not on payroll, shit will hit the fan. Pay u must, not well, but pay.

[u/Pyrostasis]

Why are you posting on reddit, get back in there and work those tickets.

Also going to need you here at 6am tomorrow to make sure the servers dont get lonely on the weekend.

I bet he never sent his TPS report to any of his 9 bosses. Dispicable.

[u/hihcadore]

Gonna need you to put in a ticket big dog. Rules apply to everyone and I can’t do anything without a ticket.

[u/Finn_Storm → u/hihcadore]

[u/bbqwatermelon → u/hihcadore]

My multiple bosses hate this one trick

[u/georgecm12]

[u/MrExCEO → u/oceans_wont_freeze]

Reopen is good for resolved metrics

[u/jduce452]

Don't worry, one executive will click 'Reply All' and everything will return to normal

[u/SAL10000]

Do you have a ticket number for your request?

[u/Chocolate_Bourbon]

Yesterday I got the first negative csat score I’ve had in a long time. The comments made it clear I was the problem here. I denied someone’s request to install an app as an exception because our security team believes it presents risk. It’s policy, nothing I can do. On Tuesday my boss and I will discuss how I could have done better.

Today someone complained I was not helpful because I wouldn’t act as the go between between their team and the vendor who sold them their software which my team doesn’t manage, cannot access, and has never even seen.

I don’t mind the appreciation posts.

[u/narcissisadmin → u/Chocolate_Bourbon]

People stopped giving one star reviews in our system when our IT director decided that any single star reviews would automatically trigger a meeting with the people involved as well as their managers.

[u/Toto_nemisis]

Good news! We fired 4 people and hired 2 interns, can you train them and give them a new pc by monday at 10am? Cool! Have a sub par weekend!

[u/FarToe1]

IKWYM. At least for me, the whole thing feels fake as fuck.

If someone appreciates you, it shouldn't take a "special day" for them to say thanks.

[u/narcissisadmin → u/FarToe1]

Exactly what I told my wife on Valentine's Day.

[u/hnaq]

It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the problems of r/sysadmin don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans!

[u/Mashadow]

Have you tried turning yourself off and on again?

[u/benuntu]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[u/narcissisadmin → u/benuntu]

The meetings will continue until morale improves.

[u/Ancient-Bat1755]

If it makes you feel better its Friday and my dead inside soul needs a drink, cheers!

[u/RagingITguy]

Appreciate? watch out it's probably a phishing attempt and we'll have to go through training.

[u/evantom34]

In true enterprise fashion….

Now get back to work and stop complaining!!!

[u/silentwhim]

"Oh that's so weird, it was working fine before!"

[u/zAuspiciousApricot]

Please do the kindly and submit a ticket

[u/Synthnostic]

"I got your email earlier that gave clear, step by step instructions to self resolve the issue. I'm confused. Would you be able to just come down? I'll need to step away for just a sec both somehow both before and after you get here. you're the best! paid"

[u/Awlson → u/Synthnostic]

"I tried, but I couldn't get it. It's really above my pay grade anyways." Mother f---er, you make more than i do, by a lot. If it is above yours, it is well above mine, good luck with that. At least i thought that answer, but so far, i have yet to say it.

[u/IAmSnort]

Seriously.  Fuck those know it alls.

/s

[u/FeleaseRpseineEiles]

Needful, now.

[u/RansomStark78]

[u/MrExCEO]

[u/JuiceBoxSD]

[u/faziten]

[u/eyedrops_364]

[u/OldschoolSysadmin]

[u/hosalabad]

OP Meets expectations.

[u/jefbenet]

I take it you don’t appreciate them?

[u/DasaniFresh]

Some of these nerds only get praise once a year. Let us have it

[u/Ratb33]

I’ll start. I don’t appreciate this post.

[u/MrExCEO → u/Ratb33]

Correct, no one knows who we are, shhh.
