| Mar 24, 2012 at 6:50 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @dundx, I live in the real world, not some mythical land where everyone is happy and joyful all the time and easy to get along with. Real people aren't like that and most admins recognise that we don't have to like other people in order to be able to properly and efficiently do our jobs. I'm an admin, not a KFC counter jockey. | |
| Mar 15, 2012 at 12:30 | comment | added | dunxd | "many of us don't even like humans in general, which tends to be reflected in our attitudes to everything" is an unprofessional attitude IMHO. As much as we may be annoyed by the users, in most cases our work enables them to make money for the companies we work for which is what pays our wages. | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 21:59 | comment | added | Andrew | @quux What we really dislike is the behaviour that some of those humans exhibit when dealing with us professionally, just as people who "hate computers" dislike the behaviour that computers exhibit. | |
| Mar 9, 2012 at 7:59 | comment | added | quux | Downvoted answer because I absolutely abhor this idea that sysadmins "don't even like humans in general". I realize there is a cabal here at SF which feels that way, but I do not think they represent all syadmins, and I hate that the cabal repeats this meme so often. Let's dump the BOFH image once and for all! Please? | |
| Mar 7, 2012 at 21:10 | comment | added | music2myear | I can only imagine. I've been in IT professionally for 10 years, until recently my jobs have been primarily end-user support with increasing levels of responsibility, but still mostly the front lines, as it were. 4 months ago I was hired as Network and Systems Administrator for a manufacturing firm and I like to think I have the smallest inkling of what you've no doubt done for quite a while. I'm grateful that I really like people, otherwise my job would be much more difficult than it is. | |
| Mar 7, 2012 at 20:43 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @music2myear, yes and this is just 10 minutes after I arrived at the office. Just imagine what I'm like at the end of the day, after having dealt with users all day. | |
