Today, when I asked my boss why my bonus was cut in half, he replied, "I have no idea what you really do." I'm the IT Manager. FML

I say you take away his Internet. Just for awhile. He'll come and find you in the hopes you'll be able to help him.

Aw OP that is brutal. Maybe print off the job description and lay it on his desk if he really can't figure that out.

"Oh, I'm the one who gets rid of the virsuses from **** people download." That should secure your bonus.

its not a very highly thought of job.. the only time you think about is when you have an issue... then you just get mad and upset that it takes so long for your issue to get addressed... what you dont realize is they are dealing with the 85% that are usless and cant figure out simple stuff... like "why is my monitor blank" answer "is the computer on" user "yes the light is on" IT "the light on the tower or the light on the moniter" user "whats the tower?"

Seems to be a good chunk of the business world. If someone doesn't understand a profession or thinks it's "easy" they assume it doesn't cost much. In this case, it's just derp caused by ignorance

Time for a little self promotion. "It's a poor frog that won't take care of his own pond."

I'd suggest just not letting your department do anything for a few weeks, but odds are the whole company grinds to a halt. Generally what works is to simply make a note to your boss every time you do something. "Today I made fixed a pc that allowed our sales people to sell 1 million products". And keep emailing them until he understands just what you do. (In an ideal world, you'd toss the idiot out a window, but that's kinda frowned upon I guess.)

Part of the problem is corporate culture. I call it the cult of mediocracy. If you work in the corporate office you are infallible and accountability only applies to those outside the inner circle. IT people generally still fall outside the inner circle and their work is usually not understood by the corporate geniuses. Not true of all companies, but I am sure a lot of you work for companies like this.

Hopefully you won't be fired for poor sales performance.
