If you are looking for an IT job in a work environment where you will get stockholm syndrome, talked down to, and treated like garbage then this is the place for you. Management will call you on vacation, when there are other resources available, to fix things. Management often hires the first warm body to enter the building so they can have a butt in the seat and then tries to come up with reasons to remove the person before probation time expires. Lots of turnover in IT, my last count was 120% in a one year period for just one manager. IT management is filled with sociopathic, inept, ineffective, and abusive individuals. Have been witness to management calling the business users names and/or saying that if they don't like something they can suck it. No time is dedicated to actually planning anything things out, everything is done in a "shoot from the hip" manner and often takes 3 or more attempts to properly complete. Management treats staff that they like with respect and everyone else like garbage. Managers are often inaccessible and if you manage to schedule time to discuss anything your meeting will be canceled or ignored for any reason. Management will often sit in meetings texting one another and ignoring the topic being discussed, text messages are often bad mouthing other individual(s) in the meeting (one manager accidentally left the apple app open on his laptop that let him text and several defamatory texts came in during a meeting). Management will not put anything in writing that they want done and often uses this for plausible deniability if an issue comes up. Management has no knowledge of how IT works or what best practices are, often needs handholding and/or several page documents to communicate simple change procedures and later ignores these documents saying what was presented or documented is to complex. Company is in the credit card industry but IT management often asks for all security measures to be removed from systems for no discernible reason, occasionally will state that it gets in the way and is making the systems to complicated to maintain.

To many lazy leaders, to many leaders, HR a joke, sneaky unexpected lay-off and termerstion of whole Department’s
