First off, any department is ONLY as good as it's management. Don't like IT, don't blame the worker, blame the manager. Second, most users have an IQ somewhere between a pet rock and a retarded monkey. Even a Special Ed teacher loses there patience after explaining the same thing over and over and over and over again. Third, IT is NOT your personal Slave - Learn how to operate your own damn computer. Forth, IT and Helpdesk are TWO different skill sets, don't hate IT because you have problems with the Helpdesk. Fifth, most places underfund IT, then bitch when things don't work out. Sixth if IT is so damn bad, fire the lot and see how long your company stays afloat - IT keeps everything except the stupid users working perfectly, but the one thing they don't control (i.e. the users) is the one thing that causes 90% of the problems No, I'm not in IT (I'm a Scientist, not an Engineer), but I've observed plenty of people bitch about IT when most times the fault is strictly their own.
