Shocking IT Industry Secrets

By Clare Westwood


Working in the IT industry has some hidden perks; this article takes a look at some of the les well known secrets of Information technology industry workers. Some of the secrets may make you laugh whilst others might be shocking!

Often working in IT means that consultants and users will try to take the credit for your work or blame you If things go wrong. Working alongside consultants can be quite challenging at times. Often consultants will insist that their solutions will work everywhere else suggesting there must be a problem on your part. However when a project is successful some consultants will try to take all the credit.

Often as a professional you will spend the majority of your time looking after older programmes rather than implementing new ones. Although one of the supposedly biggest benefits of working in IT is that you do get to try out all of the latest software. In reality this isn't always the case and often Information technology workers need to work with existing technology 90% of the time.

Some employees choose to use technology that is within their own comfort area rather than being tailored to the type of business industry they are in.

Due to more criminal activity occurring online IT workers are becoming more and more sought after. Protecting the data and network of the business you are working for is a big responsibility and puts you in a position of trust.

Often workers will use industry specific jargon, this can be quite comical and around 50% of people questioned admitted that they did just that in order to cover up their own mistakes!

The secrets included in this article are a small selection from a rather large list of hilarious disclosures provided by IT workers. The typical day to day roles of IT workers do not always include the above secrets but usually all workers will experience some of these within their careers.
