Hi,
So I have some experience in VBA and am employed on this basis.
The problem is that our IT department don't have any knowledge at all, but their opinions hold a lot of weight. As a result everything I do is treated with suspicion and the fact that they don't understand just increased this.
Sadly this seem to be a recurring theme for me in that IT personnel don't have any understanding and are limited to plugging things in or reinstalling software, so I thought that there must be others with this situation.
The boss who employed me, although pleased with the results, doesn't know anything either and is scared by the IT's predictions of impending doom, so doesn't offer me any support.
Short of getting another job, is there anything that can be done to cope with an unsupportive and suspicious IT department?
I'm being treated like some black magician whom they resent but tolerate because of the results, whereas I'd really like to work with IT to take things forward in a collaborative manner.
