In my first job as a sysadmin I tried my best to support business and two things happened:

1 - My paycheck did not increase when business was successful.

2 - When something broke as a result of assuming risks to deliver stuff, I was blamed, not business.

So I realized the most rational thing I could do was to become a bureaucrat and ended up leaving.

Now I work in a place where business and IT are in the same team and have the same financial incentives. I tend to make reasonable consesions and business people actually care about security and keeping tech debt sane. Pretty cool.
