$50K A Year For Sys Admin With 7 Years Experience, LOL

Ah, the classic tech industry paradox! A grocery store wants a sysadmin with Cisco certifications, Azure experience, VMware skills, on-call hours, AND the ability to lift 50 pounds... all for the princely sum of $23.80/hour ($49,504/year). That's like asking someone who can build a nuclear reactor to also flip the burgers at the cafeteria for minimum wage.

The real cherry on top? "Occasional lifting" and "on-call weekends" - because nothing says "we value your 7+ years of specialized technical expertise" like making you haul servers around and fix the CEO's printer at 2am on a Sunday for less than what some entry-level developers make.

This is the tech equivalent of "we're looking for a brain surgeon with 10 years experience who also does plumbing, for the competitive salary of whatever we found in the couch cushions."
