Me, I didn’t really give a shit then nor would I give a shit now. My job was to lay out the risks/rewards to clients. Sometimes, they choose the dumb thing. You can tell them that’s it unwise, but ultimately it’s their wallets. If they don’t want to pay an extra 20k a month just for redundancy, I totally get it.

They lost about 50k in sales that day, still less than the cost-of-ownership for redundancy.

PS. Please keep conversations civil. You probably don’t know me, but I’m the least “scared of failure” person you’ll ever meet.
