The funny part is that if you are actually old enough to have the experience they ‘require’, and look like the distinguished gentleman in the meme, well, it turns out you are too old and feeble to be considered a good fit for the position what with all the health problems age brings…

‘Failsafe’ the word you are looking for?

Worked in tech support for a major internet provider. We would constantly have major ouages in various locations due to overtaxed systems going down. Corporate refused to allow us to admit that there were problems on our end and forced the techs to troubleshoot the customer calls, even though we all knew that we could do nothing for the customer. Saw multiple techs releived of their job for telling the truth to the customers. So many hours wasted on both the customer and techs part.
