I love the redundancy on tech level, but not on the human level. I can only imagine the manager's dashboard with risks and mitigating actions.

    I contract at a place that has lost well over a million in the last 11 months in downtime that's specifically for low voltage/comms failures. They have been looking for an electrician for 11 months and 49-65k USD is the salary range.

    They could have paid triple that and saved money AND got the deliverables for the year. They won't now.

    "Guys, you don't understand, my MBA specifically said this would work!"

    Often followed by "Hmm, can we pay someone to help us solve this personnel puzzle? Let's find a consultant. I'm no rube though, I'm a shrewd business cretin - if we don't find a consultant with an MBA fancier than mine, we'll just be wasting our money."
