Totally agreed. IT is really a rough and tough job.

For intellectual property, I include the related links below.

我是一個工程佬專門幫電腦機房做基建工程，即空調、電源、消防、漏水檢測等，經常都碰到客人說大老板未批錢，不能接納我們提議的最佳方案，只能隨便做點小修改應付一下。要知很多時都會令到機房裡的安排違反電例及消防例，到出事時也不知誰人該負責，頂罪的會是大老板嗎？

The best time for IT has gone. Better change industry as soon as you can....

夕陽行業.............

I'm totally agree with you.

完全感同身受啦

How difficult? I show an example below to illustrate how difficult it is, and also this example is related to Bayesian probability for your calculation if you are interested in.

IT implemented a new system or performed a system modification due to business needs.

There will be 2 scenarios, 1st is implemented the system successfully in view of meeting the user requirements, project timeframe and budget, or another scenario is project failure including not fit to user requirement, overbudget, project delay. We simply put the probability for each scenario as 50%.

And also there will be another 2 scenarios for business using or not using the system, Business performed good and met the target or Business performed poorly due to not meeting the target or even suffering a loss. Again we simply put the probability of each scenario as 50%.

For good system and good business, Business users may have the responses of (1) appreciating IT's work or, (2) ignoring IT's work or, (3) complaining IT. For each response, the probability is 33% for simplicity.

For good system and bad business, Business users may have the responses of (1) ignoring IT's work or, (2) complaining IT. For each response, the probability is 50% for simplicity.

For bad system and good business, Business users may have the responses of (1) ignoring IT's work or, (2) complaining IT. For each response, the probability is 50% for simplicity.

For bad system and bad business, Business users may have the responses of (1) ignoring IT's work or, (2) complaining IT. For each response, the probability is 50% for simplicity.

Now the questions are:
What is the probability of IT's work being appreciated?
What is the probability of IT's work being ignored?
What is the probability of IT's work being blamed or complained?

你咁樣寫一段野,我真係好懷疑有冇人會睇完,再回答你

See if the example can be more visible

用圖易明好多。

想問點樣貼個chart上黎？

真係做個行厭個行，睇左咁多版，個個都話自已入錯行。

agreed

Like other career, IT need to be specialize too. IT people also need to pick one area too dig into it. I guest the problem is many of us stop study or gain more experience in one particular field.

For example even doctor need to do further study to be a specialist.

I work for the IT dept in HK and then Canada.
I think if you are working in the PC and network area, it's pretty hard to catch up with the new technology.  You need to keep on upgrade your knowledge by taking some IT courses which means $$$.  For big company like HK Jockey Club which I worked before, they had IT courses for you to take.  For small company, I think the owner prefer the less espenses the better.  We cannot use our salary to update our knowledge in order to keep our job, it's a little bit sad.
Right now I am working for a small IT department in Toronto, manage a network with a Win2003 server and a RS6000 machie.   Sometimes I am under a lot of pressure because the management do not want to spend money or is not budgeted and the technology is going so fast and our knowledge and hardware did not catch up.  
The worst thing is the user who want their problem get fixed right away.  They think we are 萬能.

Technology keeps changing so fast that it is difficult not just for IT guys to catch up, but also for any companies, which invested hardware and software in previous years. For example, the speed of LAN is changed from 100Mb to Gigabit, and for WAN, the technology changed from T1 to Frame Relay and now Metro-Ethernet. If you want to upgrade, then you need to change and re-invest all the network equipment.

The same thing also applies for RS6000, the AIX of RS6000 changed from AIX4.3, to 5.1, to 5.2 and now 5.3 within these 6 years.

Besides I agree with you that users think we are 萬能, my additional opinion is that users think it is '老馮' for IT to do.

係人都知,用錢可以解決好多問題

但做得i.t. management,要做既係響有限資源下,做到d野最好

早十年d電腦人響hardward限制下,一定有做
而家又有幾多人會tune-up自己既system0丫

其實係香港it dept 已變為公司的機電工程處...
公司跳fuse, fax機/影印機 jam 紙 或者光管壞左...
可能都要it 去整...尤以細公司為甚!!!

越講越谷氣

唔單單谷氣 ~!

好多時,有個電字都會關你事...

what can we do to change those 難處

if the user is a pretty girl, I usually go to see her right away, 眼睛吃豆腐
for most cases, try to teach them on the phone
but sometimes, the pretty girl is the stupid one of all.

I always have a dream that there are pretty girls as my users in a lengthy process of user requirement collection and UAT. But the reality is always cruel.
