What I hate about IT is that you have to wear multiple hats. Not unique to IT in the slightest, but IT often has to do weird shit that IMO should not be at all in the job description. Management for some reason is convinced IT should be ok with doing physical labor to move shit around, should be ok to be part time logistics department, should be part time project manager, should be part time janitor, should be like HR, should be sales people, should be public speaker, should be part time QA, should be part time in legal, etc etc etc. It’s fucking ridiculous.
I just want to work with the tech. Get the people out of the fucking way. All I want is the tech ffs. It’s in my fucking title.

The reason that IT often gets lumped with this stuff is because if you leave it to anybody else they do it wrong especially logistics. Everyone except the IT department is now banned from ordering new IT equipment because they’ll order a bunch of laptops and then act all surprised when this huge pallet of devices arrives as if they didn’t just order one. So then it just sits in the entrance lobby the days on end until someone from IT comes and opens the pallet and takes the laptops upstairs. If they do that with new pens that’s fine, no one’s going to steal them.
