We used to have a GREAT IT department.
Due to an issue I encountered, I realized how bad they have gotten (in the sense of teamwork and cooperation.) Ever since they hired this doofus bigwig, the IT team has been eroding like earth under a waterfall.
They knew of an issue with our software that would affect FA, yet failed to implement because it would also affect a student's ability to paying online.
Now, it's going to be at least another week before I can start processing for the new aid year, meaning we as a department are FUCKED.
They never let us know, though they knew.
Anyway, what I've found in the past two days is a large group of people acting like mongrels growling because another mongrel is pissing in their spot.
But it is still us, and mostly me, who is fucked. What will happen? Nothing, except a few all nighters for us. Meanwhile, IT will still act like 5th graders and we will all bear the brunt of inadequacy.
I've been in charge this week, as my boss is on vacation. I have been calm, and in control, and a super-duper problem solver. I was hoping to elevate my plea to make me assistant director since I do all that entails anyway. Through no fault of my own, what my boss will see when she gets back is that we haven't started up next year. All due to a bunch of pissy bastards making at least twice what I do.
(IT people...like I said we used to have a great IT dept, it's fallen apart because of politics. I am in no way dissing IT people as a whole, because I can only imagine the crap you have to deal with.)
