Let’s be real, the better you are at your job in IT, the less anyone notices. Welcome to the Visibility Paradox, where success means silence, and failure? Oh, that gets EVERYONES attention!
In this week’s episode, we break down how SysAdmins can fight back against being invisible by quantifying wins, showcasing strategic value, and learning to speak fluent exec (without falling asleep doing it).
We talk dashboards, automation ROI, watercooler politics, and the underrated power move of asking: “Who’s in the room?” before every meeting.
Because if you want to survive the next round of budget cuts....or better yet, get that promotion, you're going to need more than technical skills. You're going to need career armor.
