System Administrator Appreciation Day 2023
 |
Add to this the typically moronic know nothing HR representatitve and there you have it. Nobody can evaluate skills nor make intelligent decisions based on experience. What a bunch of insipid worthless human beings at the helms of enterprise IT these days.
Many, but not all enterprise IT situations are this dismal. There are those who know what to look for in credentials and act accordingly.
Those really in the know are entirely too sparse in today's technical workplace. These people have to have extensive vendor support to even squeak by. The worst evidence for this phenomenon is the dreaded "locked down network" whereby users are not allowed to do anything at all because those running the network are so inept that they simply curtail all permissions (except theirs) effectively placing the local network in a lock down scenario so that everyone has very limited access — EVEN those comprising systems staff. This is due to an inability to effectively manage resources because some unskilled dunderhead is in charge.
So my last employment steadily wore my enthusiasm down with stupid microsoft products because that was the only thing they could do. It finally reached the point that there was nothing there I cared to do so I departed for parts unknown.
Suffice it to say I am much happer gone from the doldrums and intellectual quagmire posed by the dense people running that show.
Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day.
I do not appreciate System Administrators because too many of them are nincompoops. They think a worthless degree is a viable commodity in the absence of any skills whatsoever. When you can't do the work the value of all your degrees becomes essentially nil.
Such is the nature of the business whereby a leading professor of Computer Science at the local university said on the record that an IT degree from that institution was not worth the paper upon which it is printed
Voila. I rest my case.
