I think there is a big difference to in what area an IT employee is "disrespectfull" towards the end user.
Sure, you have the kind of guys who actually laugh with users ( both SE as system admins) because the User knows less of a computer then they do.. These are the bad kind of IT folk who actually don't get it that, as much of a computer whizz they may be, they could well suck at the job the end-user is doing ( legal advice, financial analysis etc). Everybody has he's job and skills. Just because yours are better in 1 perticular area doesn't mean the end user is a retard.
HOWEVER... when you are doing your 3th field trip of the day because yet another user doesn't seem to be able to notice the red light saying "out of paper", tryed to get a jammed paper out of a printer with his scissors, broke of the cd-tray of his laptop while "carrying" the laptop with this "special handle", spilled a coke in his laptop ( again), etc.. etc.. etc.. (yes... these are all real life things).. you really get frustrated from time to time. And if the end user gets arrogant against the it guy who is trying to fix the error the end user made ( accident OR stupidity) and always knows better because he asked his 16-year old brother in law who "knows a lot about computer stuff cause he is a games".. you basically get frustrated after a while.
By the way.. this is a problem that every profession that has to handle with specialism seems to have ( as said here before)..
What I wonder in all of this is why the hell everybody freaks out @ the thought of being "tracked"..
Don't you ever buy stuff with credit cards ? own a phone ? have electricity in your house ? own a mobile/pager ? use the internet ?own a license plate ?
Well then , with little creative thinking, they ALREADY can track you.. so why the hell worry about something as an RFID ?

Define "Big" Companies? Try thinking up God names for 5.000 + servers... And remembering who is who.
