IT Job Satisfaction Plummets To All-Time Low 453
cweditor writes "IT job satisfaction has plummeted to a 10-year low, according to a recent survey. Another on general job satisfaction rated IT a paltry 45%. From the article: 'The CEB's latest survey found that the willingness of IT employees to "exert high levels of discretionary effort" — put in extra hours to solve a problem, make suggestions for improving processes, and generally seek to play a key role in an organization — has plummeted to its lowest levels since the survey was launched 10 years ago.'"

I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick.
Some dude was drunk and drove his mortgage over the top
And had his startup in the trunk and she was pregnant with his debts
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.
Damn.

And then there's ICT, which is probably not quite the same, but I have no idea what the difference really is.
If you provide the servers and workstations and applications for an organization, that's IT. When they cut your budget and make you responsible for the 'phones as well, that's ICT.
