Seconded. This is dirt simple to do. If we believe in public humiliation, a list of infected machines and their owners (along with a suitably snarky "don't hire these top network engineers to maintain your fleet of windows boxes" message) could be displayed on the projection screens at the break.
Employee to PHB: "You hired me to provide core network engineering and lead the level 2 network ops staff. Tell me again why you want me to provide any server engineering, if you knew my strengths when you hired me?"
There's a reason I've gotten out of small ISP consulting - I don't do Windows, and I'm getting overrun by Linux corrosion slowly. I route, I switch, I help with securing networks. And I do wear a lot of hats at my day job, but I remind them that they hired a specialist, and promised lots of server support all along the way. Granted, the Windows guy is overloaded and the UNIX/Linux guy would snore in front of his PHB...
