How much money do I need to haved saved before I can quit this waste of
my life?
My job is a waste of a life, I mean. I don't want to quit life. As soon as I posted that I noticed how it came out.

What is the point of having a policy if some groups refuse to follow it, and executive management refuses to do anything about it?

Not that it matters, but i understood. Im sure the others did too.

My target goal, adjusting for US standards of living, is around 200 000 USD.
But then I have no meaningful debt and I produce my own food and electricity, and a substantial amount of house heating. In reallity, most of my retirement money target is intended to pay property taxes.

We love you, dude.
yway, I have noticed you have been absent from IRC as of late, everything is good?
You remind me of something I recently read in Linux Magazine, about a developer who got tired and retired to a farming life. You know you can always have
a box in a barn in a craphole country if you need it XD
You have no idea how many times i have considered that sort of thing myself. Toss it all in the trash, cut ties and start over with nature. Tho i could never do 'food animals' would have to be something like dairy cows, wool sheep, perhaps chickens for eggs, crops, stuff like that.
But, its not financially realistic for me to do so.
( even better, a flat coated retriever rescue, along side some crops to help pay the bills... but that is even more out of the realm of possibility )

Well, I once mentioned to my family we cold save a lot of money in milk and dairy products if we just milked the mares. I got weird looks from that.
Realisticallyt speaking, that is another can of worms because for mares to produce milk they need to have foals.
Well, i know i have mentioned it before about our MFA, token timeouts, SSO being a joke, etc .. that entire fiasco.
Here shortly we roll this mess out to our customers ( around 30,000 people ). Aside from the attitudes or some people here on how much harm we are going to cause, and they don't give a Flying-F what we do to our customers ( some even think its funny.. rather disgusting attitude if you ask me )... I guess they are expecting such chaos that they have created a new support team dedicated to this. So far there are over 200 people in it.
LoL.
4 emails, at the end of each one "And be sure to exit via the menu, so it will save your setting changes"
5th "ok i made those updates and it worked, how do i save my settings"
"20 years ago IT was a support team to the business" "Today it IS the business in every field and no one can survive without us"
That attitude is one reason i hate the industry. Disgusting. Power hungry scumbags
It is interesting to notice that everytime they fire a contractor and cause a money making mechanism to fail as a result, they never hire the contractor back. It would be funny if it didn't happen so often.
Oh, well.
that is because most cant admit failure. OR the blame the now-gone contracting company, even tho it was not their fault.
"they set it up to fail, it wasn't our decisions that caused it"

Probably more than you think, depending on your age.
I'm still seething mad at the person who threw me under the bus at work a couple of months ago. Somehow that incident ended up snowballing into an omnibus gripe list that got added to my HR file.
Whatever happened to just talking to people? Seems like ever since the PlannedEmic we had a culture shift, we don't work out differences anymore, we just go over people's heads now.
