What IT Pros hate about their jobs
But there are some big downsides to the job, particularly for IT pros - the folks in companies that oversee employees' devices, networks and apps.
Several recent surveys document the ways in which IT pros are unhappy. These include a survey of 5,000 people from TinyPulse, an HR service that attempts to prevent worker burnout; a survey of 214 people from SolarWinds, known for its huge social network for IT professionals; of 23,000 from job-hunting site Dice; and of 4,900 from IT magazine Computerworld.
