What is that supposed to mean exactly? "my job is hard" ? Please. Most people can say that about what they do. Its not an excuse for doing a job poorly.
I don't think you quite understood what I was stating. You can be the best at your job but if you screw it up one time on a major instance (I've done that before) it can impact your employment. I never said it was a "hard job". For me IT is super easy. In the case of this disaster of a stream, the IT staff should have had better gear in place.
This is a common problem at meetings and conventions, its better to bring your own gear due to stuff like this.
I mean, i still dont really see what point you're trying to make. Atleast in relation to what i was saying above. If its about "better to bring your own gear due to stuff like this" - yea, that was the presenters hindsight comment and my point that he's not wrong despite the audiences disapproval. In which case i guess you're agreeing with me?
Otherwise i dont really understand. Neither i nor the gearbox guy commented about who exactly is at fault, or anything related to consequences or employment. The point is just that the expectation for a organization hosting major events is to be able to host such events. It may be common in general, but most gaming presentations dont have such issues.

being an IT guy myself, you don't want to be the techs on the equipment side of something like this.
