​I'm not really told much of anything here. But I get the idea that our
upper management's thoughts about the above are "That's no concern of ours.
That is the concern of our external vendor." They really seem to think that
I.T. is no different than the grounds keeping company, the electric
company, or the sewers. Too bad this generation of managers don't remember
about the time when the sewer literally backed up into our (old) basement
computer room because: (1) the computer room was below the local sewer
level and (2) the city turned of the "pump failed" alarm because of too
many "false alarms" costing them money to check out.​ I still have the
mini-plunger that the I.T. people go for keeping the "stuff" away from the
cabling.
