My uncle worked backend systems for a trading floor in the 90s. His last straw was when a vendor CE died in the datacenter, iirc of a heart attack during an early morning repair. Someone called 911 when he was discovered, but the fire/ems guys got into a fight with the management and security and stormed off.

They ended up getting threatened to complete the repair or get fired and rolled the dude into a cold corner of the datacenter, where he sat for several hours.
