A legacy shortcut that turns into a security failure two clients share the fallout from. A sentence in a layoff memo nobody will actually take credit for. A 2 AM incident that raises a harder ...

A task handed off that becomes a liability nobody saw coming. A leader who spoke with more certainty than the facts actually supported. A recurring problem nobody escalated until it was too late.
