what to do what to do
In the IT world you are judged by how well you do today. Forget the past accomplishments. It is very stressful to know that you have to perform at your best everyday. We have a few people in our department that are senior to most. They are the most knowledgeable and most depended upon. That much power is hard to control when they can say or do anything, because they are so vital to the company. There have been times where managers will avoid confrontations with them because they don't want to make them angry.
It is very hard to feel like you are valuable when you deal with people who are constantly talking down to you or yelling at you.
When you talk to the manager, and he respond that is just them, you feel helpless.
