At my last job some suits decided they were just gonna shut down a location, pink slips for everyone with little to no runway. Except there was a production data center there. And 75% of the DBA team. And key networking personnel. And a chunk of the sysadmins.
Much backpedaling was done. It took several years to migrate those teams, and a lot of key people didn’t take kindly to having their chain yanked and simply walked. And then a few more years (and a purchase by a larger company) to fully decom the site.
This, my friends, is the efficiencies of private enterprise in action.
