I also work in a factory, in health and safety.
The IT department seems to be seriously thankless at my place. Most of what they do is sit and monitor screens spitting out data feeds.
Until something important breaks, then whoever is unlucky enough to answer their phone at 3am gets called in to work 14+ hours until the problem is fixed and everything connected to it has been re-tested.
Also, quite a few of our IT people are much older than one might expect. They’ve been with the company since it’s heyday in the late 80s to mid 90s. Most of our manufacturing equipment is from Europe, much is outdated, some machines still run with floppy disks, and the only certified techs remaining live in Italy or Finland or whatever the machines were made. We can pay the insane cost of flying them in, or IT can learn the stuff and try to figure it out.

That is, if they could all talk. Sam here is right, a lot of them are too goddamn dumb to think of anything beyond primeval flesh ripping.
If all demons were reasonable, even insultingly so like Leonard, we probably wouldn’t think of them all as evil. Bad apples, man.
