JdeBPI'm up to #NCISSydney episode 1.7.
The life threatening risk at the product launch was ordered to be made real by the CEO.
None of the other CEOs listened to or took advice not to turn up when it meant being incommunicado.
A bus factor of 1 was ordered by the CEO.
VC money was spent by the CEO to ensure that the taxi drivers weren't a handy low-tech safety net.

In the 1980s, this would have been stupidly bad cyberpunk that everyone would have laughed at for having wildly inept corporate security. But it's the 2020s.

We're still shooting massive padlocks open with tiny pistols in the 2020s, too.
