Truth.

That's why I hate the annual "what did you do this year to justify your salary?" reports we have to do. It's like...."Was everyone else able to do their jobs? Yes? Did we get hacked this year? No? Then I was doing my job"

    When everything is broken they really don't appreciate you producing the denied purchase request that explained that this exact scenario would happen without it.

    Happened once to me when our bank of UPS batteries, of which every single one had failed, surprisingly didn't keep our servers running.

    Then C-suite ordered us to run the servers off of generator power, bypassing the UPS, and we got a bunch of magic smoke.

    Luckily we documented everything.
