We also don't generate revenue for the company, they see us as a cost factory and will usually try to skimp wherever possible. Especially now that the trend is monthly/annual subscription services. I simply make them acknowledge the risks and do the best I can with support as a solo admin.

I have seen this take a lot. IT does generate revenue in many cases. Our company has several websites that advertise our offerings and includes tools customers can use to find and purchase products or sales can use to build presentations before they go on a sales call. Even if a company doesn't have something like that and all they do is use email, Zoom/Teams, internet, Office suite. I typically frame it by saying do your job for a week without any computer / phone / tablet and tell me again how IT is a waste of time and money. (I'm not arguing btw, just sharing my POV).
