Frusty the Frustrated IT Manager

Frusty's Gyan, Moral of the story: It is a thankless job to be an IT Manager in any organization. It is like being a mess secretary in a hostel. No one is ever happy. IT Manager gets all the brickbats for any problems faced by the organization. Every one will point fingers at the IT department and yet no one from the IT department will ever get a chance to defend themselves. In addition to that no one will ever make any effort to understand the nitty gritty of any software solution. A little effort by the Business users to understand the software helps the organization to resolve a lot of issues. IT, Software and systems have always been treated as untouchables by the business users.

The story in words for those who cannot see the picture:
Frusty to Bossy: We have been using the new software for the last one year. Should we have an information session for the top management to explain them how it works.
Bossy to Frusty: No, We should not have that. The more ignorant the top management is about the new software system the easier it is for me to convince them that all business problems like the drop in sales is due to the new software system.
