There is always someone who is pressed into service for this type of thing. It will happen as early as 5-6 staff members, and it doesn't go away when you hire an outsourced IT vendor. In fact it gets even more insulting.

"Thanks for spending 6 hours fixing all that stuff, I didn't want to spend $100 calling in the IT guy!"

Don't get me started on outsourced IT ......

They came and stuck asset tags on all our IT equipment, then decided we were charged $100/year for support on each item. Including a $15 ethernet hub that I got because I only have one socket near my desk.
