It's not ONLY that they deserve it. (which they do!)
It's that the only way to fix this is to make it way more expensive to get hacked than it would be to prevent getting hacked. Maybe with a side order of jail time for senior executives.
And you don't sue them senseless. You sue some sense into them.
For extra security, the security staff should wear the t-shirts inside out to protect the root password from public view. Thank you, the management.

Telling other people you plan to ${ fire | lay off | downsize } them is just basic human decency.
Oh, but businesses have no basic human decency.
If you were to tell an employer that you were leaving, that would give them advance opportunity to begin looking for your replacement instead of leaving them suddenly unprepared -- as they do to you.
I have known people who gave advance notice and left on great terms. And I would also do the same. But that's because I like who I work for.
Gee, that makes me wonder what kind of relationship employees have who just stop showing up. Hmmmm. Maybe you should rant more about the employers than the employees.
You don't really know whether such testing has already been conducted. Nor do you now exactly what testing methodologies were used. So you should not just go making such assumptions about the lack of QA.
Facebook serves an important role in backing up your personal information to many redundant third parties so that it is safe. You benefit from this because these unnamed third parties are then able to track you across the internet as you visit pages which have Facebook buttons on them. It is as if these third parties are invisibly your co-pilot. Always sitting right over your shoulder, watching everything you do so that they can help you to know where to spend your money, or what kind of malware is most compatible with your system, or how to exfiltrate money from your bank accounts for safekeeping.
I like keeping the office at work. And not having to have any Windows devices at home. There is something to say about the car just getting warm as I arrive. But all the other advantages are worth it. My office is not distracting. Well lit. Comfortable. Quiet.
Those who can't, become managers.
Those who can't manage, teach on the subject.
Those who can't teach, become consultants.
Those who can't succeed in consulting, run for office.
Those who can't get elected, become lobbyists.
The problem is that everyone lower down than "those who can" incorrectly perceive the value hierarchy to be inverted to make themselves feel better.
Provided we limit the top speed to prevent anyone from being left behind. No child left behind. Everyone deserves a trophy for participation. The fastest runners won't feel that their talent, training and hard work has been devalued by entitled people.

Application of Make Up should have separate men's and women's events in order to keep the competition more fair. Men have more upper body strength and might apply more lipstick at a faster rate than women do. Quantity applied would be the metric for success in the men's competition.

If you begin to notice vibration from the SSDs then you know they are near the end of their life.
I was going to say you can't save yourself a trip to refuel the cup. But then I realized you meant a YellowTide instead of OrangeTide.
Sadly, you're probably right.
I like keeping the office at work. And not having to have any Windows devices at home. There is something to say about the car just getting warm as I arrive. But all the other advantages are worth it. My office is not distracting. Well lit. Comfortable. Quiet.
If you were building an accounting system that could run in only 48K, it was very much a thing. For developers. Not so much for end users.
Yes, it does. If you drink water, using the right sized cup can result in having to refill the cup and empty your bladder at good intervals.
Remote work sounds good in theory. But a grueling 10 minute commute to a real office is better.
Did you leave off the word 'jerk'?
Is that the correct term for a link that links right back to itself?
Yes. I have noticed that.
If you're much closer to the end of your career than the beginning, a desk with a nice comfortable chair works great.
Hey, isn't everything moving into the Cloud?
Maybe we can move managers to the cloud?
A regular office with a window and a door that closes, like I've had for decades since Apple II Pascal was a thing.
The hipsters can have an office that is some type of olympic event.

Anyways, one should never use the word anyways.
Except in the previous sentence the word 'anyways' can always be removed leaving the meaning intact, more concise, and perhaps even more clear.
Assuming that your porpoise is trying to communicate more clearly.
Pong.
It is a sophisticated game, requiring extensive background study to fully grasp all of the nuances of the rules.
Please let's leave out violent video games such as Frogger or Space Invaders.
Yes, running very fast can be an olympic sport.

Hey now! Esports participants are often highly correlated with success at the Beer Can Lifting competitions.
