I had a site that was going down multiple days a week for a hour or two. Turns out a employee was unplugging the small rack surge strip to plug in their coffee maker. They also happened to be the person complaining the loudest about how incompetent IT was. For some reason what she did was understandable and not worthy of a write up. But me telling her not to touch anything connected to server rack was going over the line. She was gone within the year having finally made someone with more suction mad.
Hot take; if IT had important gear running on a single power outlet with no UPS where it’s easily accessible and any schmuck could pull the power, she made a pretty compelling point about incompetence.

Yes, but… There’s a reason for locked doors and apcs
What are apcs in this context?
I think he wants to run her over with an armored truck.
A brand that makes rack enclosures for IT gear, typically they come with a key to lock it shut
I would assume APC, a brand of uninterrupted power supply.
Yes.
