Yes I agree and disagree. The same thing happened when I worked in a Corporate IT Department. The IT Manager was a young whiz kid who seemed to have all the answers and was constantly badgered as he walked around.

I disagree because now I perform the same role in a smaller organisation and that allows me to share knowledge with the workers and my workload is diminishing. I am left with the 'meatier' bits to deal with.

Of course there will always be plenty to do in an IT environment and IT Managers seem to be able to 'bend their head' around problems that stump the general population.

I agree - take it as a compliment because IT stuff we take for granted is bloody near impossible for the general population.
