It’s also, in some ways, safer than some centralized password managers.

Oncall is usually a 24/7 type of thing, where speed is a major factor, and I doubt they would want to restrict oncall engineers to on-site only.

They want people in the office, but they still want people to be able to work when they’re at home too. No shot RTO comes with blocking remote access to corp systems, or even prod for that matter.

How would oncalls be handled without it even?

Why would the PC be disconnected?

I think im too out of the loop to understand if the last part of this is a joke or not - what was the impact?
