IT professionals are facing growing workloads and increasing pressure, leading many to become IT generalists. Auvik's report highlights that burnout is prevalent, especially among senior staff, with a significant portion feeling overwhelmed and unable to specialize due to stressors and tool sprawl. The Baby Boomer generation's impending retirement exacerbates talent gaps, making it difficult for the remaining workforce to manage their responsibilities effectively. The findings indicate a worrying trend where IT staff are increasingly focused on immediate, reactive tasks rather than skill enhancement.
The IT generalist is arising out of necessity. With a continuing talent gap and increasing tool sprawl, IT professionals don't have the bandwidth to develop deep specialization.
60% of IT professionals reported feeling burnt out, with 78% stating that workplace stress prevents them from pursuing upskilling opportunities.
