IT is disconnected a lot of the time - they are disorganized, communication is lacking to an extreme, and they don't understand the business. In the meantime, IT receives a very large share of the budget, to the detriment of the business side of the organization. And the new management reorganization of departments impacted people to a highly negative degree in certain departments.
