I provide pros and cons, options, and prices, and lay out the risks. They make the decisions.
Exactly, and their responses are how they tell you how much they see the data as being worth.
It's a catch 22 though. If they decide they want to take some risk, and then bad things happen, they don't own up to it, they just attack me like "why didn't you prepare for that!"
Either way, I end up the bad guy.
Everything in writing. Literally. Also get out of there. They aren't paying you enough obviously.
This. I've been there multiple times and I leave every time

I'm not the one who demands we "share" O365 accounts, that was their brilliant plan to avoid $30 more a month. I'm quite tired of it really.
You may want to look at your licensing for O365 and report this to Microsoft. Generally licenses can't be shared and are per user.

True, but that's the nature of not being the owner. They will never want to own up to mistakes. But whatever they do, they set the budget based on their interpretation of their own value. That's it. No matter what politics are at play, that's what is happening.
That they blame you for their mistakes is neither here nor there. You don't have the power to fix their mistakes, and it isn't directly related to the case at hand but to all cases.

And definitely not with O365. It's not a grey area at all, it's straight up theft.

Honestly if they are asking you to break the law (as is evidenced not once but twice in this conversation) you need to GTFO before you're culpable.

I have much bigger concerns in my life then worrying over whether MS is losing out $30 a month.
And I know, I've spent most of my time on mangolassi ranting about my job, lol. But the time is coming to leave, as my side business is growing and I'm ready to do my own thing. Hopefully this year, I'm out. Hopefully within the next couple months.

Why not just use everything cloud hosted for this 11 employee company? All this money, time and effort makes no sense when each user gets a TB of disk space on Office 365.
If you are really paranoid, then back up to another cloud provider. All this equipment and man hours make no sense on 11 person company. Just pay for each user like you're supposed to and you will have all the resources you need.

When the company you work for is just a joke, you know it's time to leave.
Wouldn't I love to just demand we buy a 365 account for everybody, at the level that gives us Sharepoint, then simply force ourselves to use the system as-is and stop whining if some feature isn't exactly the way they want. Ya wouldn't that be nice.

Your company seriously can't afford $137.50/month??? ($12.50/user/month for 11 users)
Do the owners/decision makers know that it's really only that $12.50 per user? Do they think it's some outrageously expensive service? I just don't understand...
In your other post you say "There is no way I'm paying $140/m for Dropbox Business for 11 employees to have their own accounts. It's not necessary here, all way want is shared access to one master folder and very robust desktop sync."
Are you personally spending the money? $140 a month should be next to nothing for your company... it's like 8 cents/hour/employee

It sounds like the owner is cheap, picky, and/or don't want to use modern technology the correct way.

I don't get the impression that "can't" is the issue, it's "won't" that he is facing.

That's often the case. An owner or manager who "gets involved" but doesn't know all of the stuff necessary to make the decisions.

It makes no sense how the employer would rather pay for 100 hours of IT labor and still have no solution. I have feeling that 100 hours isnt an exaggerating either.....

People often view employment as a sunk cost and don't calculate the value of lost opportunity from keeping a resource tied up.

At what point does the blame go to the employee vs the manager in this case? I understand that the employee is doing what they are being told, but at the same time they are not doing their job to the best of their ability.
So what happens is that you work for this place for X number of years and then when you go to leave, your old boss tells them it took a year to figure out cloud storage for 11 users. It would make the employee look really bad while being true. Even though it is obviously not his fault.
So at what point does the employee stick to their guns and say no? Isn't that in essence what they are supposed to be getting paid to do?

Only to the point that their boss decides that they don't. The scope of an employee's role is set by their boss. So what their role is to do might not be up to them.
It's IT's job to do this, but it sounds like his boss is running IT.
