You are absolutely right. If you do even a cursory search for IT abuse/lack of respect, what sane person would want to enter this field? Even CIO magazine has numerous articles on getting buy-in/respect/etc from other peers. Hell, if an executive has to fight to earn respect at the top, what can a line manager or grunt expect. IT itself is a crazy field - while you can earn a decent living, putting up with the constant changes, lack of true respect from business peers, and too many that use technology but don't even have a basic understanding of it is a maddening career choice. Or, maybe I'm just crazy and burnt out after 15 years in the field
