Found this old article...
Talks about the greatest people in IT. And, like I've spoken about, not one of these people ever came close to ever working in IT. marketing people, programmers, business people, all kinds of things, but no IT. Even Computer Weekly can't identify an IT pro to save their lives.
Yeah - it's why normals lump anyone who works even remotely close to tech into the IT department.
With that approach anyone who uses a toilet must be a plumber!
Anyone who OWNS one, more like it. Some of those people we don't know if they ever even used a computer!

A lot of those people started on development... Then moved to business and marketing.

Right. Development isn’t IT. Totally different things.

It’s like asking who is a famous mechanic, and being told the names of people who designed factories or financed car companies. Not someone whoever fixed a car.
-
Example: Bill Gates is the closest on the list and never did IT ever.
Today Bill Gates pays for and oversees malaria research.
Is he now the worlds most famous doctor?

Hey, loo, I can draw a smiley face on my TI-84 Calculator. That means I work in IT, right?

I can accept this answer.

Tagging @CCWTech as we are discussing this. This sums up the VLAN for VoIP issues..

While this is totally true from the protocol point of view, the entire VLAN getting priority over all other traffic not in the VLAN is better than no QoS at all.
@scottalanmiller likes to neglect to mention this in his zeal.
802.1Q does provide QoS. Yes, it prioritizes everything, but any network with VLANs configured properly will still see a benefit to the traffic within the prioritized VLAN.
Under normal circumstances, the amount of non RTP traffic in the VLAN is negligible and honestly not relevant to any discussion outside of theoretical mental exercises on 100% best possible prioritizaiton discussions.
Now that said, I never recommend using a VLAN for voice in the first place, because that is not the purpose of a VLAN. I always recommend setting up proper DSP tag based QoS as a primary resolution.

But the meme was in response to someone who literally said he prioritized all protocols. It was about all, not about VLANs. He ALSO was using VLANs, but the meme was in response to the other part.

Ok, that is totally just, "I can't even".....

Yeah. He probably isn't really doing that, but in his excitement to try to justify the VLANs, I'm guessing he was trying to bluster.

Definitely "good" VLANing and QoS is better than nothing, just not as good as better, simpler approaches.

I was arguing with another tech... He made the statement that he sets up VLANs for all VOIP clients for better performance.
Even before seeing Scott's video on the subject. I told the tech he was up in the night and that setting up a VLAN isn't done for performance... I was called 'unprofessional' and a 'goof' for not doing VLANs for all my clients VOIP systems... After seeing Scott's video, I could see that everything I was saying to the guy was true. The tech responded by posting a link to a CISCO article covering very large enterprise environments. He's dealing with offices of 20 computers or less and can't understand why SMB would be any different than a significantly large enterprise network.
He's adding equipment and services at a premium price. Ripping off his clients. Very unethical.

Oh yeah, he is totally wrong and simply has no idea how the technology he is using even works.

Even there, it's not for performance. You can have a million phone users and VLAN isn't for performance. You want VLANs, but for management purposes. It would be a nightmare to manage otherwise. But that's very different from performance.

Right. We have many but it's for management and security.
