Re:car mechanics do it too (Score 5, Funny)

In my experience, I found that the IT guys are being paid more than other people in the building on average, actually much more than their job description warrants. Management is ignorant to the fact most stuff just works and the IT guys basically sit around all day browsing slashdot.org etc,... breaking stuff once in awhile to make them look useful. This leads to to a level of arrogance brought on by the fact that they must make others feel they are ABSOLUTELY necessary to the well being of the company. If they weren't there, the place would break down and we'd all be walking around aimlessly without their "expertise" Like Doctors and Mechanics, this is their little God Complex. It's quite amusing actually. I've found myself not fixing my own computer problems on purpose just so they have something to do. They are not much more use than elevator operators to me. Sorry.
