Guess Problem is that a lot of managers also don't know, and have same understanding as your Grandma. I've seen plenty of companies take a very highly paid engineer and have them install printer drivers on peoples PC's.
Hard to convince management that a dedicated onsite IT would be required - especially when they think it is your job already.
Gotta appreciate if you're working in the former. Drawback is you can't BS your way through issues. Everybody above me in the chain (which is like 4 people) could write a quicksort blindly. If anybody tries any BS they don't have their job much longer.
Well, nobody forces you to work for a company with managers like that. I personally wouldn't.
That's kind of like saying, even slaves have a choice. Death being the option available to all.
Drawing a comparison to slavery is quite shocking, tbh.
