I got exhausted just reading this. Unless I'm getting paid big $$$$ to be the Chief Security Officer its not my problem. I just document and move on. I'm not even in InfoSec. I always tag in infosec if there is such a department. Sometimes they stop the foolish behavior sometimes they don't. Its their job.

Perhaps on HN there are lots of people getting that FAANG salary but I'm not one of them. I'm not going to sacrifice my sanity and health for standard industry pay. If they pay average that is what they get. I recommend more people do the same, its part of why everyone is going insane nowadays, popping pills, therapy. Because they are fearfully trying to do the job of 20 people.

> talk VIPs/whatever out of their temporary obsession

F that to h3ll and back. Not my responsibility unless I'm getting paid. The world would be getting better not worse if more people actually fought for their sanity rather than doing work for free. Paid or having a seat at the table, meaning actually having equal authority to the big whigs making hamfisted decisions that they don't understand. Too many people are in charge that should not be. Let them burn.

> forced to stop as it was "too embarrassing"

Exactly my point.
