      Given the time and scope of a move like this and the time frame that Pablo only began the job in February, and the very likely wrong assumption that Pablo initiated the change rather than just speaking on behalf of it, and the time till the switch over... it seems likely that the project of tearing the infrastructure apart in an epic rip and replace disaster must have started pretty much the moment he joined the company. A pretty bold move for a newbie in their first days in a new career. Imagine being hired fresh into automotive engineering for Ford with no experience and on day one announcing that wheels were legacy and you were going to make all new cars used tank treads and skis in the front instead.

        Too easy to make a joke here. Are they hiring because clearly they forgot to hire IT people? Or is it funny that they are so adamant about hiring when, likely, they will be out of business in a few days.

            So long as that contract is guaranteed pay... regardless of time worked / business viability.

              Looks like recovery is on track at roughly 5% per hour.

                "That's one of the things we want to start doing or looking at".

                In reference to creating backups... . . .
