The truth about IT jobs
We all know that information technology is one of the most demanded fields in the job market, while
being in field; it can also be very demanding of those who fill those roles. Stress in the IT field can be
overwhelming for many who find that they are unpaid, understaffed and not appreciated. The
experience also with end users can be less than desirable if you are have a lack of staff then many
people will assume the quality of the service to be less than adequate. IT professionals certainly face lots
of problems and challenges. What can they do to overcome certain job related stress specific to
information technology?
Information technology professionals in this day and with the ups and down of the economic situation
that is prevalent today find themselves low on staff and underpaid for what they are doing. Information
Technology professionals are similar in function to maintenance staff. Many times, especially in smaller
organizations or educational institutions, other employees do not really see what information
professionals do on everyday basis and they definitely do not see their worth until a system wide outage
occurs and business screeches to a standstill. Many companies do not see the need to fill positions
adequately especially if IT professionals are doing their jobs too effectively and efficiently. What do we
mean by that? Often IT professionals are so good at what they do, they can make it appear that other
positions are not needed because they are taking care of everything at the same time. What can an IT
professional do to perhaps shed some light on a situation of being understaffed?
Another thing that benefits It professionals is documentation, it is not a very professional word as many
think about the time which is spent during documenting something but documentation is always a good
option.
Professionals in IT need to keep in touch with the management and supervisors on what is going on in
the world on their own. Helping management understand the business impact of system failures or
performance upgrades helps put what you do in perspective with how they are accustomed to perceive
effects on the business. Simply stating facts about the intricate workings of a system or performance
numbers does not translate to facts management can relate to being very essential. Find a way to bridge
the gap between the technical aspect of the system and how it truly affects day to day operations.
Management will appreciate this and it will help highlight areas of weakness in staffing, etc. information
Technology job stress is becoming more and more common especially with tighter budgets and the
economic situation. However, with proper documentation and communication with everyone involved
including management, factors affecting stress related problems in IT should at least be easier to deal
with. IT professionals need to make sure that they are not overcome by the ever increasing demands
and technical tediousness that can certainly be mentally and physically taxing. Do not become
overwhelmed and take on more than what you can possibly handle just because management does not
see the need to increase budgets or staff.
