      IT work is feast or famine.

      “IT people, your not doing anything, what the hell do we pay you for?”

      “IT people, everything is on fire, what the hell do we pay you for?”

          I think they mean in terms of workload, not like pay or something. Either you have a lot of work, or very little work. But when you’re needed, you’re needed urgently.

            I have not had that experience at all. Things hardly caught on fire for us though.
