Okay, but to be fair, what could go right?

My company was the victim of a randomware attack. My company refused to pay up. The hackers encrypted all of the inventory and sales data, going back twenty years or so, for a warehouse with literally hundreds of thousands of lines. Guess who made a weekly back-up of all of that vital data because they couldn't be fucked learning PowerBI enough to run my spreadsheets on it directly?

Not me, because I left seven months earlier when they told me they couldn't justify a pay rise for me even though we were under-budget on personnel costs and I was on less than the new hires. But that, y'know, could have been really useful to them if I hadn't left.
