What isn't told in the story is what a sweatshop the place is and how poorly one is treated as a contractor. No excuses for trying to power off the DC (which, since the DC is a crap design like the rest of the place, failed) but does explain the (over)reaction. I am sure behind each of these stories is an IT mgmt team that is based on the Dilbert comis strip. I was at the ISO incident.
