This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

IT Departments
Ive been working in IT for 10 years in Support. Yes I know what really goes off.
First of all, it is completely true that IT staff do purposley make people wait on occasion. As if we responded straight away, itd be expected of all the time. And sometimes it isnt possible to respond to calls straight away. But most of the time it actually is.

I.T However do not sit watching what everyone surfing on the net, or go through your emails or files, or watch your screen. We are far too busy surfing the net ourselves and downloading our own files.

Most IT departments will have a PC sat somewhere with a p2p client on downloading hte latest movies and albums. Bypassing the firewall of course. So if the Internet is running slow. You now know why.

If the server goes down. its usually because of something IT have actually done, rather than a random server down.

Theres many more, which I will post later.

P.S This is typed from my desk in I.T and theres a user waiting for me to look at his PC It wont even boot and hes been waiting all day. My collegue is on Facebook!
