Indeed.
Last place I worked with sysadmins, they were fire fighting like crazy, not enough of them, bad choice of suppliers, poor code bases meant things fell over and took far to long to run and a dev team begging to get off the internal network on to their own because of all the restrictions.
I needed a backup of the DB of one of the three systems to test a major setting change that no-one was 100% sure would work because no-one understood the bloody awful contractor code with the even more awfully designed DB.
Took them 2 weeks to get it to me.
Crazy place, quit after 2 months. Really thought I'd asked the right questions too.
