POE wasnt really designed for everyday use, it was designed for manufacturers to have an easy way to power small devices on their control network. Seeing as many control networks are now going to ethernet rather than serial communcattions (DH+, Modbus+, etc). This allows them to remove a lot of the extra cabling from their orginal networks.
Also POE is used in a lot of place s to power the wireless APs for WiFi.
I know exactly how your feeling. Im a network admin who just turned 20 and work under an IT manager that thinks he knows everything about everything. Unfortunately the only thing he really knows anything about is programming. He questions everything I do and I have to explain every single thing to him even simple tcp/ip settings. He also recently took credit for the work i did changing over our WAN from Framerelay to a VPN solution. Its kind of funny though cause they dred the days i call in sick cause im the only one that can fix anything around there.
