@doerk the concept in a nutshell. Which is why I insist on claiming it is a failure of IT management.

They get their bonuses by clear-cutting their IT workforce. Knowing full well that the consequences are to be borne by whoever comes after them when their 5 year stint expires and they have moved on to greener pastures.

If you want to make sure never to be stuck in a meeting again ask your IT manglement for their exit strategy from the cloud. There isn't one and they will hate you.
