Why Motivational Gifts Desk Plates for Sysadmins
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.
Traditional motivational posters assume you haven't been crushed by the corporate machine yet. Cute. Our version acknowledges reality: that 'reaching for the stars' usually means unpaid overtime, and 'teamwork makes the dream work' ignores that nobody asked about your dreams. These gifts motivate you to lower your expectations to a sustainable level.
