I very much appreciate the around the clock efforts our nations "front line, first responders" in the medical field and teaching field have and will continue to get; HOWEVER... I am almost SICK and TIRED of all the other front line, IT Workers, and IT infrastructure support providers are continually overlooked, discounted and assumed to be taken for granted.....that also goes for the other overlooked segment of janitorial and sanitation workers; that clean up all the leftovers of the first responders, medical and added heroic efforts maintained by said same group of "frontline first responders" leave behind....
100% confident, that all the Dr's, Nurses, EMT's and such other healthcare / Police, Firefighters and other workers, which are getting 99% of the recognition; lunchtime pizza thank you; bonus "Channel" perks and discounts; If their devices, PC's, Laptops, Tablets, desktops and mobile devices stopped working, because there was no "frontline" IT person to fix it, on demand; that case would be a completely different story!
For one; I would like to see a collected effort to publicly acknowledge, thank, and otherwise offer some of the SAME "benefits" most of the larger companies are doing as a way to say THANK YOU... Like the same or more discount opportunities from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, USCellular and any other carrier or company would bestow to that segment population of individuals for doing their "essential" jobs.
Please understand, I am not in any way discounting the importance of the named segment of essential workers; but lets be fair and encompass the other "In the background" essential job performers; that literally keep everything attached to a network, running smoothly...
How long would you tolerate your internet / network provider to provide poor, inferior, down more times than you can count, it "just wont connect" or such?? Think about that and realize the importance of this class of IT Essential workers, as your standing on the roadside holding a big "THANK YOU essential worker class STAFF" sign...
The next time you have an opportunity to thank your IT people or your janitorial persons; please do... The simple and unsolicited "Thank you" goes a long way... and I would almost guarantee you, the next time your device or network has an issue; and you, as the person that took time to previously call out that single individual with a thanks or priase; your issue will take on a whole new mission and quickly get resolved... If you dont believe me, try it out and prove me wrong... I encourage you to do just that.. and post your reply back...
