Welcome to the July 2014 Newsletter.
So how was your SysAdmin Day? In case you missed it (possibly due to having too much work on) Friday 25th was the 15th annual SysAdmin Day, dedicated to the general appreciation of system administrator the world over. So were you bathed in the warm glow of your colleague’s appreciation, or maybe even plied with cake? Not if Ipswitch’s second annual “Red Shirt Survey” is anything to go by. In fact the only warm glow some network admins have been feeling lately is the one coming from the older bits of IT kit as they slowly overheat in the humid weather.
Ipswitch’s survey, released to coincide with SysAdmin Day, polled 150 systems administrators from across the UK. Revealingly, when asked “What would make IT admins feel more empowered at work?” 51% of those polled simply wanted “Recognition for doing a tough job.” That’s double the second placed response (25%), “The ability to choose and buy the technology they need.” Admittedly 24% wanted x-ray vision to figure out the source of the problem but hey, the appreciation thing certainly sounds totally doable!
So the next time someone in the office sticks their unsecured, virus-friendly storage device where it really doesn’t belong (don’t ask) a simple word or two of appreciation/regret to the network admin might go a long way. Further still if accompanied by a slice of something overpriced from Costa!
