Today I found out the cause and after action of the network outage at work that occurred on Friday. Three people were fired. One person escorted a non-credentialed new employee through a computer room without having then sign in as required(FIRED!) and stay with them the entire time there were in the space. The non-credentialed person was there for official business and interacted with person within that space that is credentialed. Once the task was completed the non-credentialed person left the worker’s area and went into the computer room where she felt trapped. In order to exit the magnet locked door you need to hit the exit button on the wall. There were 3 things on the wall and she she did not choose wisely. She did not pull the fire alarm (good for her!) but she did lift the large clear plastic cover with the writing on it explaining it is the emergency shut-off for electrical and pressed it. She tried the door and it did not open so she then presses the button marked exit and the door unlocked and she walked out. When she hit the electrical shut off it kills the power in the entire data center (2 large rooms, 2 engineering labs, the power for the 4th and 5th floor telco closets etc.) So she too was fired. The third person fired????? the person she interacted with during her official task. He should have escorted her out since she was not credentialed to be in there alone in the first place. WOW! They are still having some issues with some minor systems. What a day. Two of the folks had been there for a few years and the lady was a new hire and did not know any better. SUX to be them.
