BTDT.

Book a meeting with a company honcho and spill the beans. Not in a angry "I haven't slept for 32 hours and hardware is s**t"-way but in sane, polite and constructive manner.

Try also to understand them. They probably have zero knowledge of stuff and believe that everything runs by itself, forever and that guy that want's least amount of money should be hired.

I sat on both sides and most often, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Techies often like the newest and brightest stuff and want money to buy it even if sometimes costs outweight the benefits (in real way).

Also, corporate types running the show have often zero understanding on how things work.


Try to have a constructive discussion and be open with consequences of not keeping the gear in running order. (Now this is a tricky part, many techies believe you have to have newest firmware and hardware to be "in running order", be prudent).

Hopefully, you will get somewhere. If you don't, do not leave the notice but find another job first. Then leave the notice and get the hell out of there.
