Thank you for replying, hope you get some rest.
I have worked at several different companies, of various sizes. One place sold equipment, 1 machine was between 100 ~ 250k, they usually sold 10 or so a month so revenue would be ~12 million. IT department was 1 guy, he eventually was able to get a helper.
Another place I worked at used to have IT on site at every location, they cut that as a cost savings. It became a small team at corporate HQ, then was outsourced after that. Regional offices and factories worldwide.
A story about their policies; They decided to ban USB drives in the name of security but there was equipment that you needed to get data off that could not be put on the network. Their solution was "Get a computer that we not controlled by IT, Login to Teams on that computer and use it to send the files to yourself."
This is a company that has over 5 billion dollars in revenue...
I think neither revenue nor profit can give you a good idea of what a company's IT ability is.
Myself, I have no idea why the fridges would be on the network/ internet but wouldn't be surprised that the utilities requested it be done.
