    When it works correctly, IT makes it possible to do more with less.

    I’ve noticed over the years that IT jobs aren’t the first to disappear when the economy tanks.

    There are exceptions, of course. Stupid employers. Ineffective IT people. Sometimes just a shift of focus: if a division goes away, you no longer need the IT staff who supported it

    An intelligent employer understands that talented IT people can let them maintain productivity with fewer staff or increase productivity with the same staff.
