I have had my own share of problems with admins and corporate IT. But in most companies it really is a thankless job where you can’t win. When things work you have to justify why you are sitting around while things “just” work anyway. When things don’t work you get yelled at by some exec, probably the same who previously denied budget requests for better equipment. Add to that the fact that some users are just idiots and most companies see you as pure cost that best gets offshore. In my view definitely a job to be avoided.
