"thank you for telling us, but let's stay the course" sorts of responses.

Not much you can do for that. As a teacher, I could teach all day, but there was no way for me to force a kid to learn.

Well rubber chickens are way more aerodynamic than any book so that's a no brainer.

Just to necro this thread, how would someone in IT actually get the business to see and understand these risks? I've tried this, explained in full detail the chances taken and I get a "thank you for telling us, but let's stay the course" sorts of responses.

So you stay the course while keeping your resume current,,, and then, when the proverbial crap hits the fan, you have the prime opportunity to say "I told you so!"

Same geometry teacher would take out the rubber chicken, beat it on the desk and then pretend to answer the deskphone in his bottom right drawer. All I can say it that it got our attention.

Thanks for the necro. Get greeted with a comment I didn't recall making, just to look at the date 2 1/2 years ago. lol.

Then, on a second note, this article legitimately applies to me today.
