I learned a long time ago they don't pay me enough to get mad. I never take this stuff or make this stuff personal though the same can't be said of some of those I deal with. In my last job (actually two jobs ago) I was a multi-trade inspector so I have most of the codes I need, though I can only use them for reference and teaching until they are adopted. Again I am fine with that, I don't really want to be a multi-trade guy. Its OK to help out and fill in, certainly helps me be better at the building/planning/review side but if I am ever allowed to hire some help I will push for an expert in mech/plumbing. That we we can feed off each other a little. Of course, I would still have to be employed to do that.
