Gross. IT to me is a support role, not the reason for the company's existence.

From someone who transitioned from operations to development over the course of their admittedly short career, this is a poor mindset. Much like how you shouldn't disrespect a janitor or a nurse, you shouldn't say "gross" about IT work.
IT may not be the reason for the company's existence, but it is what allows it. The company may not exist without you, but you don't exist without IT.
