How are you dealing with your company using the IT Department as a catch-all?

This is always going to happen because the IT department has the largest single population of people who can think through a problem and follow tasks step by step. In IT, that’s maybe 40% of the people present. Nowhere near the majority, to be clear.

But outside of IT, that is maybe 1-2% of people in the average department.

Because of this, IT becomes the dumping ground anything that is more complex than folding a piece of paper in half. I’ve seen it over and over again.

I don’t foresee this ever not occurring. So IT will be assembling barbecue grills and doing training until the sun goes red giant.
