Tech Vs. Business?

Posted by kdawson on from the two-towers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I've recently found a spot in a large company, and I'm noticing that here a lot of people on the technology side are very anti-business. Tech makes up about 40% of the total line of business staff, but the whole LOB is only a tiny percentage of the larger company in the financial industry. I personally haven't seen this before in prior jobs, but I'm told that this animosity is commonplace. So I come to Slashdot to find out if others have experienced this adversarial relationship between business and tech, and if so, what was the effect on the overall success of the business?"

    You're on Slashdot and you still don't understand the freetard mentality? Read the Linux Haters blog. It explains everything you need to know.

    sorry thats crap. IT workers are some of the most arrogant pricks you will ever meet... ive been on both sides of the issue. they wont talk to you like a human being, but they will whine and moan if they have to deal with budgeting or talk to an actual user (the horror)

    Some of the techs at my job forgot what the hell a shower is or how to use it.
