I know you’re being sarcastic. But for anyone coming here with a damaged irony sensor: no. Setting up a VPN comes at zero software costs (it’s all open source software, unless you’re keen on getting ripped off by some proprietary product) and a reasonably low cost in man hours for setting it up (we’re talking single-digit to low double-digit hours here).
Setup expenses look bad on the quarterly report. Losses later, if they happen at all (who knows if the engineers are so into their tools they forget the real world and I, the genius CEO, need to bring them back to reality), are problem for later.
Yeah. And VPN connections exist so maintenance and monitoring can take place without direct exposure. But alas…
Yeah but that’s expensive to set up and C-Suites need more bonuses so

Expensive? I bet it’s less expensive than losing all your frozen inventory.
That requires forethought though, you’re giving c-suites too much credit.
