My friend is sole IT guy for two production lines, managing security, multiple production buildings, redundancy, sensor lifetimes, emergency concepts etc, he has one colleague managing the human IT part

Like he manages all the machines and the other one all MS-Shit

It is always very interesting listening to his stories about managing multiple production lines where it costs so much if the machine is not running for some time

It is about producing chocolate, lol

You'd think so, but it really is just like Jurassic Park.

The way I see it, they could demand the same pay as 2 people so that their boss doesn't have the hire 3 people.

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."

Haha, yes

They are so fucked, if some mad lad is road raging and prevents my friend reaching his workplace
