10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the beware-the-bofh dept.

jonk689 writes "Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe will be showered with large piles of cash and expensive sports cars in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgment. It's the least you could do."

    What, paying you isn't enough? What makes you more deserving of appreciation than any other profession?

      Who said anything about being *more* deserving of appreciation? Every hard worker deserves some appreciation.

    Why should you get a gift for doing your job like everyone else does?

    This just cements you in place as being very low on the corporate totem pole. Every hear CEO appreciation day? Management appreciation day? Doctor appreciation day? Engineer appreciation day (engineer's day in India doesn't count)? Lawyer appreciation day?

    No?

    How about teacher appreciation day? Secretary (or, ahem, administrative assistant) appreciation day? See where I'm going with this? I wouldn't take this as a compliment.

    Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
