minus-squareumbrellalinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-24 months agoi mean yeah but bean counters up top want me solving the current emergency (caused by similar forms of neglect from years ago) ill get to it when it breaks i guess
minus-squareslazer2au@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoSo fight bean counting with bean counting Best formula is average employee pay × number of employees × time to fix = money lost. The trick is to find a solution that is lower than money lost. Say 20 employees at €35/h for 4 hours. €2800 is how much the company lost in wages. You will find bean counters are more acceptable to a €5000 server over 5 years if it prevents €2800 of lost wages per patch Wednesday.
