Is IT Ops ok with fires?
Are IT Ops professionals delusional in thinking the job is to make “IT Operations” better, more efficient, more advanced?
Where do you land - Fireman or Builder?
Why are labor and finance resources always tight for IT Ops? Budgets go up only when there’s a breach or when there’s hype for a product.
In my experience, companies seem to be ok with silos, single points of failure, lack of training, etc. The IT Ops department budget is treated as a liability rather than an asset. Although, there’s always lots of talk behind “efforts” for real cybersecurity, zero trust, and governance; it always falls off.
This also leads to secondary consequences, of knowledge hoarding, hero behavior, toxic environments because the work becomes- “How do I get noticed?”. Or worse, belief that one’s chosen behavior facilitates job security.
So are IT OPs professionals mid? Should we accept that the job is to fix things. Thats it.
