At my last job, most of the company was laid off during the early part of the COVID lockdowns.
...Including the IT guy who was responsible for killing everyone's access credentials...
All of us that were laid off watched the company-wide zoom where the CEO tried to blame everyone who had been laid off as dead weight. They managed to get the other IT guy to kill our credentials the following week.
Then they laid the other IT guy off before anybody had sent in their work laptops or other work equipment because the CEO decided that if the offices were going to be closed indefinitely we didn't need an IT guy. The company had to write off more than $1 million in assets that were never returned, including a number of very expensive, very new RED cameras.
A lot of times, IT's "failures" are just the failures of management.
