When one of my guys fucks up, while he or she may answer to me or his/her contractor supervisor (depends on who it is), but when I'm speaking to the SES's and Colonel-birds, I'M the one that gets to field the questions, and answer the answers and come up with mitigation strategies to prevent said fuck-up from happening again.
My team processes approximately 42,000 individual changes on our vast network (
) per year. Everything from routing changes to firewall additions, DNS records, F5 load balancing changes, PKI/Certificate functions and all sorts of security-centric things. Everyone of them can fuck up even with the best planning, reviews, intentions, etc.
At the end of the day, I can't track everything they are doing down to the minute detail, there's just too much. I have a team of 33 individuals in 5 different geographic locations, most of them working remotely on a daily basis. But you can be damn well sure I have a general idea of what they are doing and I don't even get paid millions to do it.
These sorry fucks pretending that Booger Boy Fuckwit McFuckFace had no idea what was going on is so preposterous, anyone buying into that bullshit needs to get hit the face by the goddamn Undertaker with a metal folding chair as a wake up call.
