IT are literally useless freeloaders that indian poo-in-loos could take over the job. They will be obsolete when competent chatbots can diagnose issues for customers and people become more tech savvies.

Having a cisco cert doesn't make you not part of IT, you deluded cunt.

The IT Crowd is certainly not a good portrayal of what working in Tech is like. Guess it all depends on where you work, though.
At my job, there is very little downtime, because it seems as if people are incapable of taking basic care of their shit.
Got called out to an office because a doctor's PC "ISN'T WORKING HELP." Ticket literally said that, just that, caps and all. Asked for more info, but the ticket stayed the queue, because you can't expect people to keep a rapport with you.
Called, no answer. Had to physically drive out on location. PC booted with an odd error message about the HDD not being detected. Opened the PC up, found the SATA cable was slightly loose. Plugged it back in and the shit worked like new.
Told the doctor to stop kicking his computer, since it was placed under his desk.
Just yesterday I walked in on a bunch of screaming HR reps trying to work a Ricoh MP6054. They had all trays of the printer flung open, toner and fucking ink everywhere. They're screaming at each other and cursing. I walked by unnoticed, thank God, and left the building ASAP.
You learn to do the least amount of work possible. At least, that's the case in the beginning. 'Cause then you realize slacking off can actually be the root of much larger and more complex problems down the line.
It'd be a much easier job if people understood how computers work. You'd expect people who use PCs everyday for work purposes to have some basic proficiency. This is not the case.

It's a comedy, it's not really about life as a tech support monkey at all. the characters just happen to work in the IT department, but the show isn't really about that.
