Before Apple fooled everyone into thinking beauty over brains and pretty over powerful, IT was a respected and feared department. with BYOD (which i hope never catches on to the mainstream corporations and multi national companies) IT professionals have to listen to the tantrums of users who want to circumvent the policies just because they have VP backing. The cloud and other remote management solutions are hurting IT departments as everything would be outsourced and the infrastructure you spent your blood and sweat on building and maintaining gets replaced by these remote technologies. there is no personal level support etc etc. IT was better when things didn't need to be explained and a policy was enforced by discplinary action regardless who the pertrator is.
