Call Me If It Increases
The CEO's brain doing complex math calculations trying to figure out if 500 server errors is concerning while the entire production environment is literally on fire.

Act II: "Nothing," you decide, because everything's working fine and storage costs money. Act III: After your production database spontaneously combusts at 4:30pm on a Friday before a holiday weekend, suddenly that backup is worth your entire career, marriage, and will to live. Funny how perspective changes when you're staring at the digital equivalent of a burning city.

The digital equivalent of a firefighter's house burning down while they're out saving others. That moment when even the platform designed to tell you when other platforms are down... goes down. Trust issues intensified.
