Gifts for Employees - Stickers for Sysadmins
You keep everything running and only get noticed when something breaks. You're the reason the internet works and nobody understands what you do.
Why This Works
Sysadmin life is invisible when you're succeeding and blamed when anything fails. You're on-call for problems you didn't create. These stickers get the ops life.
Stickers are the universal language of 'I'm over this but I'm still showing up.' They're small enough to fly under HR's radar, durable enough to survive the chaos of your job, and expressive enough to say what you can't say out loud. Slap one on your water bottle and let it do the talking while you maintain plausible deniability.

Things to Consider for Employees
