I’m in IT, previously this would have been something that gave me heartburn; wondering when it’ll be back up, trying to figure out work arounds, assuring my users. Now? Oh well. It’s down folks, it’ll be back up when it’s back up, and there’s nothing much we can do, so no need to get your panties in a twist.
Something changed recently that I just don’t care as much anymore. It’s a job, not a passion.
Deferred liability is a HUGE benefit to paying someone else to handle things.
Which is probably why management loves AI so much - not only are they deferring liability to the AI, the AI tells them they did a great job even when things go wrong!
At least at my work there was pretty genuinely no workaround. The service desk group chat was mostly just sharing memes and making jokes about it cause wtf else you gonna do.
As a general rule though, if it’s something legitimately out of your control, don’t stress. The bosses don’t gaf about you, so you have to gaf about you.

Answer the phone, blame Microsoft. Just like any other day.
I’m almost convinced moving to cloud services was a way for IT to deflect blame
