Yet another sad example of people today not wanting to take responsibility for themselves

I'm not sure if you're referring to bosses wanting to absolve themselves of responsibility or my comment. I should have been a little more descriptive.
This was an opinion of the CIO that managers interpreted as a rule. When there was a problem, the CIO wanted someone to hold accountable, and middle management was scared of having to answer to problems without being able to point the finger at a vendor. Plain and simple, it was politics. Although a few of us were making headway, bringing in utilities here and there.
I wanted to be the responsible party. I would have rather have the job of fixing the issue rather than play phone tag with vendor tech support. I figure if the open source solution is implemented and blows up in my face, I didn't do my homework and/or test enough before going into production.
So when I say, "Someone's ass needed to be on the line, preferably not one of ours", those weren't my words, but the unofficial departmental policy dictated by management.
I don't work there anymore.
