I worked on a team that managed the build systems at a FAANG. It was seriously the worst. Teams would come to you and say > "we made this service, we need a pipeline that does this, exactly this way, and we need it.... by Friday, let me know if I need to escalate it." Whenever people threatened to escalate stuff, I would always laugh and say "go for it", to be honest I can't remember the last time I worked on something that wasn't "escalated". Basically the escalated pipeline was e size and our bandwidth was 0.9e - so we never would catch up and if it wasn't escalated it basically didn't exist.
