"In IT things shift a lot. I am good at what I do but must shift gears a lot. Not a lot of clear direction that stays consistent for long. I can do more and that is frustrating."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Overhaul HR, and IT since those seems to be week spots. HR doesn't seem to add any value and even works against some of what you would think they should work toward. IT needs to make lots of changes. Good folks, but not very good processes or strategies."
