These three people proved time and again they have the right stuff. THE TOILET CLEANERS!! They said we couldn't do it, they said outsourcing our toilet cleaning would be inefficient; Dougs, Band-Head and Doodles proved them wrong. Doodles: TOILET! That's right Doodles.
Dead on balls accurate, it's an industry term. Seriously though... we make things work, clean up other peoples messes, pick up the slack of those incapable of their jobs, and bear the burden of fault when those same people screw it up and point and point the finger at us. Even if that logic holds zero validity at all, upper management never seems to care, and gets right on-board the blame train. Only recognition IT ever gets is the fall out from other idiots breaking things, never a pat on the back for fixing it or keeping it running. "Nothing is working what do we pay you for?" (followed very closely by) "Everything is working just fine here, what do we pay you for?" I literally just got out of this exact hooray meeting.
Preach, my friend. I've been in IT 27 years and it was better in the early days but now it's probably worse than ever. It's no wonder so many IT bods burn out or switch careers.
An IT "Joke": Q: Why do accounts departments love IT departments? A: Because, before there were IT depts, everyone hated Accounts. Now there are IT Depts, everyone hates IT, and have forgotten about Accounts.
Every year we have an award ceremony and every year we don't get acknowledged. It's almost better to keep this running joke going than to actually get the acknowledgment. LOL
The last joke in this video kills me. It's so funny that they reused it in another episode when Moss is sitting on a toilet. I can't find a link to that clip.
Been putting up with this for 17 years. 4 times per year. Not once did they say thank you. I mentioned it to HR a few years ago. They said, "I suppose you're thanked with a paycheck". Yes, exactly that in quotes. IT is a thankless job.
Nobody knows IT exists until one day you decide you've had enough and go to the backbone switches and cut the cords down the middle then walk out and throw your badge on the desk. Suddenly, IT is the most important department in the building.
@@gschneyer Do you: 1. Always say, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” 2. Have a bad relationship with the people upstairs? 3. Never get thanked at appreciation day? 4. Work in the basement? 5. Have your supervisor treat you like she’s your mum, but she doesn’t know anything about computers? 6. Relate to Moss and Roy? (All those things)
@@harribo2005x 1. I have that on my cubicle wall. And yes, I have said that on occasion. I admit I don't lead off with it, but the solution to a given problem was as simple as turning off and on. 2. Wellll...no I have good relations with the other floors 3. Always "never thanked at appreciation day". At the annual meetings they talk about the projects to look forward to, projects that were accomplished and all the departments involved. During that last year IT, from our department to the people in Network, the guys in the server side, were responsible for replacing PCs and laptops not only in the building but around the state, during a pandemic (I even caught COVID). At the annual meeting, not a single word on that, but oh the project to get the legalized marijuana policy those guys oh those guys. 4. Network and server are in the basement, our group at least has windows. 5. Oh no, he's very knowledgeable about computers, but he does treat us like his sons instead of a team. 6. That's a good question, am I more a Moss guy or Roy? A little of both I suppose. I'll have to get back to you on that. And you?
This is I.T. in a nut-shell. Make the trains run on time, no-one appreciates when things go right.
Yep. The Dean of the Faculty didn't thank us in 5 or 7 years of Christmas parties. He'd name lots of academics etc. It was the Faculty of IT.
Boo hoo
why are we paying them when nothing is breaking
Your public transport is on time?
@@cityhunter2501What makes you think nothing is breaking? You just wont notice because IT is on top of it
Even includes a literal slap in the face moment. Wow.
*twice

Doodles: TOILET!
That's right Doodles.
With the virus spreading everywhere and things having to be really sanitized, I am deeply deeply grateful for the toilet cleaners.
What virus?
TOILETSSSS!!!
@@listentocky1 That's right, Doodles!
I’ve worked in IT for like 4 years .. story of my life

No one remember IT crowd, except when something fails!

IT worker here. Nobody acknowledges us when it works, but we'll sure as hell know when it doesn't.
The only time IT are even mentioned is when something goes wrong and someone demands IT to be sacked

The IT Department should definitely get the credit. They’re the ones who know about computers.
To be fair the lawyers did cut the red tape

They cut the red tape!! They cut the red tape!!

100% accurate. Even applies within IT with the operations team always playing second fiddle to the superstar development team.

“Toilets! 😴”
“That’s right Doodles! 😁”
I think all of us working on IT have the same feeling 😂😂😂😂
so true it hurts
This actually happens to our department every year, sucks how ingratitude towards IT is the law.
Do you work in IT?
@@harribo2005x Yes, so often I can relate to this series very well.
@@gschneyer Do you:
1. Always say, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

3. Never get thanked at appreciation day?
4. Work in the basement?

@@gschneyer Don’t know really. I think I’m like both. I don’t work though, I’m still in college.
I've worked in IT for 9+ years. This is 100% accurate.
Happy #SysAdminDay 2019.
