Currently working at a small manufacturing business that is drowning in the "we've always done it this way..." mentality and I just hope I can get out of here before it bites them in the ass.

Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster? Surely companies can't limp along indefinitely... right?

Update: lmao since I made this post, I've found out about A LOT OF SUS SHIT beyond our IT practices. Would love to spill the tea but there is no series of vagueries I can say beyond "the fact that we hired a pedo is the last of our worries" without doxxing myself :|

They probably would live for many more years just fiiine. Sometimes when it blows up you get the best and the worst days of your career. Like you are doing so much so fast to somehow recover as much as possible while everyone is just screeching for days/weeks and when its finally over you just feel like you've leveled up/sacrificed your eye for insight/obtained zen all at the same time. And sometimes *the boss* would just decide that the best way to recover is to fire the person that can at least partially mitigate this disaster. 😄
