what the cio really does.

yes, i know this will probably get me flamed, but it has to be said.

the cio of a company is nothing more than a cheerleader for the it department. they are well paid because they have the gift of gab, not because they can tell you what happens when you plug an ethernet cable back in to the switch it came out of.

if you ever watched office space, these guys do what Tom Smykowski did for the company. he talked to the customers so the engineers wouldn't have to, because he has people skills.

now we can all pray to get plowed into in our trucks as we back out of our parking spaces or we can just get back to work making everything better. if you want credit for your hard work, skip your bosses and tell their bosses the problems are solved. interrupt a meeting and inform them all that the solution YOU came up with has worked. you'll get credit faster that way.
