Value of an IT department

You’ll never appreciate the value of an IT department until you’ve been forced to troubleshoot all your technical issues on your own. At the average office job, you simply sit down at your desk and start up your ultra fast computer with its two large monitors. If something breaks or doesn’t work, it’s not your problem. Just call IT and sit back while they do all the work. Things don’t quite work as nicely when telecommuting from your home office.
