My shifts are happening in two elementary schools, three urgent care clinics, and a local nonprofit's office. Why did you think I was speaking hypothetically? I've already taken the next two weeks off. When I'm done with this batch I've got more to do.

Your entire second paragraph is bullshit. The affected are being affected because their existing technology deployments are broken. This isn't just some nightmare that happens to everyone, and it isn't some abstract structural issue that only affects large organizations. There are a lot of groups getting screwed here. They need help. If they didn't need help, they wouldn't have got hit. I am helping.

You can sit by and armchair-quarterback the incident response, that's fine. We don't need you anyway. Useful perspectives can go pound sand. There is work to be done.




The OP is talking about big orgs, so it's kind of a dick move to hijack the conversation and proclaim your agenda to be morally superior. You don't have to put other people down to make your point. It's childish, counter-productive, and you leave yourself open to criticism that your work is also The Wrong Thing because you're not volunteering for some greater cause like helping sick and dying people in developing nations. But I guess if a desire to be better than everyone else motivates you to do some good then I guess it's not a total loss?
