Comments on: Survey: Senior managers just don’t get tech https://istart.com.au/news-items/senior-managers-dont-understand-digital-workplace/ iStart keeping business informed on technology Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:55:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tracy https://istart.com.au/news-items/senior-managers-dont-understand-digital-workplace/#comment-27790 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 04:38:30 +0000 https://istart.com.au/?post_type=news-items&p=28636#comment-27790 There’s a huge gap between “using” tech and properly “fixing” tech. Everything is lovely until it isn’t– and the very worst thing that most people can do is to try to wade through the sewage of the internet and then implementing something when they honestly have no idea what it really is they’re doing. THAT, is when they call IT, AFTER they’ve well and truly “stuffed it”.

I think a lot of techs are out there who are total posers, and likewise there are a lot of techs who dramatically understate their own knowledge and experience because they, themselves, are unable to see their own value and talent. If they did, IT staff would be paid more and would not be looked down upon as the digital-age’s “used car salesmen”, as I feel we are now.
