Where I work, we have 5 “Johns” and they have built some crazy shit to run our org, including things we could have just bought SAAS. They just got bored and made things. We love you, IT department!
Yeah I work for a charity/“social enterprise”. We all get paid shit. But we get 40 PTO days each year, plus an additional day for each year worked, annual raises that track inflation, and my bosses are awesome at leat 3 levels up.

Does management love them too? Financially, in particular? I don’t know their hobbies, but Games Workshop don’t accept colleague approval as payment.
None of us are paid well, but we’re working for a charity. So…
Does that extend to the bosses too?

Don’t underestimate SaaS bringing crazy shit.
Or going away at any point like a bus hitting a dev.
