Bah, IT staff is usually too lazy or overworked to do something like that.

I got an email from my manager today with the new policy for project managers to request time from support members (like me) to work on their project. The opening statement says that all IT employees should reserve 10% of their total work time for providing estimates for how long it will take to accomplish a task.
So, with a 40 hour work week:
4 hours - time estimates for future work
2.5 hours - paid breaks
8 hours - "administration" (meetings, filling out time sheets, etc.)
1 hour - logging the time spent during that week under a million different categories so they know what we're working on
4 hours - administration of open tickets (including communicating with customers, etc.)
8 hours - education (yeah, right!)
So out of a 40 hour work week, our IT employees are spending 12.5 hours a week doing actual work. And this is what the management wants.
And they wonder why we're all going crazy, and nothing is getting done.

Just picture that, but with areas of IT that invent work for themselves, like monitoring web traffic, creating and managing questionaires, creating and managing training programs for things that don't really affect 90% of the people in the company, etc.
