Pariah
An IT person is considered the pariah of the corporation. Whereas other business departments intermingle with each other, when it comes to the IT department, a wall of tension and mistrust is built. IT is always glanced upon as ' those guys' by customers who couldn't care a cahoot about how late they work at night keeping their systems up and running.
The entire nature of IT does not jive with corporate society, where the razor sharp skills of an IT person fails to mesh with groups dealing with ambiguity, inconsistencies and inefficiencies.
