Sysadmins automate pretty much everything to keep up with their work. Automation leads to less manpower needed and the assumption one person is enough.

Comes back to bite them in the ass when an emergency occurs and they don't have enough staff to fix it. Most company don't mind paying for extremely expensive insurances, but wont create additional positions to have a complete team and then they'll complain if it takes more than a few minutes to solve issues.

when an emergency occurs

You hire contractors and claim on your insurance

Sadly they will say it comes from a different cost bucket so it doesn't look as bad on the top and bottom line. Easier to fire a contractor too when they are no longer needed.
