I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.
But the world won’t end.
I’m a sysadmin. So like two days tops before absolutely everything stops working, and we resort to loin cloths and spears.
Senior SysAdmin here.
48 hours sounds about right. I usually get an email on day 1 of any holiday, and a panicked call on day 2 because something is down.
By day 3 all the gaps are covered by other admins after I point them at the existing documentation, that noone even looked at.
Network Engineer.
The internet becomes more stable because we stop fiddling with the internet routing protocols.
Lots of dead people. Paramedics help many.
I am in Management. Everything will carry on fine.
I’m a student… the world wouldn’t end but it also wouldn’t have a future.
