If there's no crisis or big project to work on, CEOs may wonder what IT does all day. Here's how to make sure your contributions aren't undervalued.
Go ahead, shut down the servers for a while, make yourself noticed!

Makes me crazy. Always has. I just finished my year end "self assessment" about a half hour ago. The constant need to justify my existence, while not such a problem at this particular position, has always been a sore spot. Business rarely associates smooth running with work. It's like being aware that you're physically healthy. The ultimate curse of the developer: The better I do my job, the less you're even aware that there's something I was working on. You just get to do what it is you think you should be able to do with no obstacles. Hrmpf. We should all totally just turn off the damn servers for a day. (no not really...okay maybe.)
