Lmao this is incredible

I hope a lot of c-suites get fired for this. But I’m pretty sure they won’t be.
C-suites fired? That's the funniest thing I've heard yet today. They aren't getting fired - they are their own ass-coverage. How can they be to blame when all these other companies were hit as well?
I guess this is a good week for me to still be laid off.
Sounds like a lot of architects and admins are going to get thrown under the bus for this one.
"Yes, we ordered you to cut costs in impossible ways, but we never told you specifically to centralize everything with a third party, that was just the only financially acceptable solution that we would approve. This is still your fault, so we're firing the entire IT department and replacing them with an AI managed by a company in Sri Lanka."
Stupid argument though, honestly just chance that crowdstrike was the vendor to shit the bed. Might aswell have been set. You should still have procedures for this
Fired? I hope they get class-actioned out of existence as a warning to anyone who skimps on QA
