Yeah the problem is the few of us who insist it be treated as a risk, and have it put up as an entry in the risk registers at our companies are driven out of town with pitchforks. And today, we aren't even allowed to say "told you so" because the snowflakes who shouted louder than us are butthurt and run to execs. Fun times being in the IT sector nowadays.
In my experience, IT is rarely listened to. I suspect it's just too ephemeral for people to understand. Even when shit hits the fan, they don't understand the cause and effect.
Maybe it's different at a company whose product is the tech itself, but when it's not, you have to play a different game. It sucks, but it's reality.
That sounds like the management in your company sucks 😩 You have my sympathies.
Thank you. Yes, yes it does. And of course after the migration decisions were made by others more than a year ago, and me inheriting it, NOW they want to know from me "do we have backups?" Uhm, how about you ask the guy who did the migration a year ago where in his plan he put that in?
