I got burned out and lost a few years of my life due to a job like this.
We had two things:
a. Poor systems and poor communication permeated the IT department
b. IT was viewed as a cost center so no amount of heroic intervention was ever rewarded proportionately to business impact. It was Sisyphean.
If you are in a situation like this, please run away. You can't win - either the free market will destroy your employer, or your employer will destroy you.
