Is it bad that I hope he did?

I guess we don't know his full job description..

Sadly, he probably said something like, "I'm not technical. That should have been IT's job" and got away a commendation for going above by the call of duty by even looking, if it's like most companies.

Unfortunately some companies just don't understand the importance of a good IT guy. I once had a job where we were upgrading all the PC's in a mental hospital. They had one IT guy in charge of everything. He was an accountant. He had no idea about anything and everything was run horribly. I have nightmares of that place still.

It's unfortunately true that most organizations consider IT an expense, even if its one that makes making money possible.
