I envision happy families watching the end credits for Dad's name as Third Assistant Caterer on a big budget film.

Best Boy Grip, the assistant to the Key Grip
And getting pissed off because Netflix minimizes it into the corner to already try to push some other show on you.
Couldn’t be worse then a YouTube short that has writing in the video but is covered by the subscribe button and some description of the video you wish were not there
Thank you for putting that image in my mind, it brought a smile to my face.

I now always stay around in the movie theater to see who the sysadmins were that worked on the film, for solidarity reasons. :-) Pretty much all the movies these days have them, which I would have never imagined would be the case back in the '80s when I started this career path.
Huh I’ve never noticed a sysad credit in a credits roll. Are they labeled as something else?

It depends, sometimes yes sometimes no. Toy Story 2 says "systems administrators & support" for example: https://youtu.be/4rL_4Xqak1Y?si=R2ykfdSarIjjGDZP&t=288
This is totally the case! The first time I was credited in a big production[0] I totally made my family watch the credits. Luckily, my name (Daniel Kvick) was quite close to the top.
Unfortunately, in the next game I made them watch the credits[1] for my son's name in Production Babies. It is right at the end and the wait was embarrassingly long.
