Many of my friends in the software developement world have said the same things. As a former sys-admin, it's happening to us too.
Management wants a single sys-admin to be an expert in databases, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, networking, cyber security, backup and redundancy, ERP systems, oh and handle all the help desk tickets, installations, physical upgrades, purchasing, cabling, and be able to automate and monitor it all.
BTW, do all of that for 75-95k per year, and you can't work remote...sound good?
Scam is totally the correct word for it. What used to be a 4-6 person team is now a junior and senior sys-admin with a single help desk person if you're lucky.
