   this is how the shit really works. People look for a scapegoat. That boss just wants the problem "dealt with" if the devops guy refuses, he's just fucked and will try to get even with crowdstrike

     @sickburnbro What's the problem? You just fix it at a reasonable pace, for 8 hours a day, until it's done. If the boss complains you inform him that if he wants more speed, he'll need to hire more people.

     @sickburnbro I've worked in established tech companies that were started by engineers and management for the most part were engineering training and worked their way into their roles over years by proving their competence. One company required you work for 7 years for vetting before being put through an 18 month intensive internal program that taught you the inner workings of the company.
     
     Very old fashioned approach today but it worked.
     
     And I've seen it all wrecked twice now when the company matures and people with no technical expertise start getting these roles. And you get blow ups just like this happening because they have real idea how any of it all works.

     @sickburnbro I guess. I've been in that situation before, and my instinct was to get very angry and sarcastic, not tear up. I guess I assumed every tech in that spot does the same.
     
     The first lesson people in understaffed organizations should learn is how much power you have by being necessary, and how to chill while exercising it.
