Sometimes I feel like being a sysadmin is cheating at life.

How long will it take for businesses to realize that sysadmins barely do any work and then start exploiting that by making us do other tasks like devops, programming and management

you're suppose to also be in charge of making sure it works and its secure in the "cloud". just uploading it isnt enough, do your job properly

It's mostly trash data that nobody uses, if it got deleted today I doubt he would even care.

>charge 26 hours of work
lol what kind of shit contract are you on? You only get paid when your boss asks you to do something? So if you have a slow day at work when nothing happens you don't get paid for turning up for work that day?

Not so bright are you?

Sysadmin is a dying job. Don't get too comfy.

It's already happening. Time to wake up.

who's that semen bear ?

>tfw sysadmin is a dream job
>tfw I'm still in college
>tfw is correct
By the time I get around to getting a job, it will have progressed even further. And of course nobody wants a fresh graduate with little experience to administrate their systems.

this is so true, we are in the process of migrating all of our data from network drives to the "cloud". This has incentived me to learn AWS or some shit.

>he thinks that programmers can manage infrastructure.

You've done gone full retarded.
