Yep. And every time there's a thread about an Internet service having an outage, there's some kid saying "oh, someone's getting so fired for this one!"
Yeah, the competent business folks know that if you fire people for outages, you lose everyone who even stands a chance of preventing outages. And you tell the rest of your staff to hide problems. Businesses that do that kind of thing tend to end up with a valuation in the single digits.
Not always.
Sometimes the internet service outage is due to a car taking out a green box or a pole.
If they fire the backhoe driver, then backhoe drivers will never learn.
Oh yeah, That too. Plus trenchers, and hole boring for like fences or billboards.
