Is your IT team making mistakes, missing deadlines, or simply underperforming? These are signs that it may be time to restructure. It's Tuesday?
That might just be the Microsoft method anyway

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Maybe you are just a bad boss.

Microsoft has disclosed an unpatched zero-day in Office that, if successfully exploited, could result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information to malicious actors. Maybe they should save some time and warn us when Office isn't vulnerable?

Given they've been adding exactly the same boilerplate text to virtually every security KB for at least the last two decades, I doubt they've paid any attention to studies that don't start with the assumption that the user is on a dial-up connection. 
"If the computer starts screaming at you, pick up the handset of your land-line, and use the rotary dial to call the operator in order to disconnect the Internet."
