Yeah. I find rhe phrase "IT gets paid more too" helps clear up a lot of "what about making things fair for everyone in every role at the office?" conversations.
In the meantime I also lobby for everyone to get treated as well as IT, or as close as their role allows.
But I use that phrase to shoot down the idea that my sometimes on-call IT staff should share a dress code, schedule or remote work policy with the rest of the staff.
I'm always sure to mention that internal candidates (especially the Help Desk) get preferential treatment when applying to IT roles, as well.
