Place I once worked at....
We asked the CM people to rename a subdirectory of a project.
Head of CM reamed us out thoroughly: "Do NOT ask my people
to write scripts! They are not programmers! YOU write the
scripts and they will run them!"
We wrote the script, and they ran it, with their privileges.
Unfortunately, we omitted one directory level in a rather
long path. So they deleted the entire project.
