Damn. Everyone here seems to advise you to just protect your own ass as a top priority. Is that a product of US work culture?
If you where in a sound organisation, which I would say most Swedish IT organisations are, you need to think about the company and the clients first.
Someone advised you to: “don’t do anything until explicitly asked to”. I think that’s just bad advise. You obviously know this is a major problem and risk. You also have some ideas about how to proceeds in mitigating and solving it. You should jump at the chance to help your company with this. Highlight this directly to your managers, talk with as many as you can, gather the information you need, get the approvals, and fixed the problem ASAP or find someone who can.
Your clients and customers might be badly affected when hell breaks loose.
I think anyone advising being passive, or plainly hiding from the problem, is totally wrong. Those are not the kind of colleagues I would want.
Get to work.

- Ghjklov 7y agoUh no, that's terrible advice. What if he ends up disrupting the service and cause days or worst weeks of downtime for the company? He'll end up taking the entire blame for it and possibly even fired. Will you come to back him up? Because to everyone else there, everything was working fine for months and years until OP came along and put his nose where he shouldn't have.
