CEO asks underlings for access to production servers, for whatever reason.

How many are going to say no?

Who would say yes?

If the company is public, all of this is covered under SOX compliance or other regulations. If you're truly going to get fired by the CEO for not complying, better that than be the one thrown under the bus when the SEC (or other gov body) comes knocking.

Did regulators come knocking? If so, I wasn’t aware of that and it isn’t mention in the write ups I’ve seen.

SOX compliance is about financial systems, not about some random discussion forum.

It's very much about access to production data, in addition to financial systems.
