Often people perform better with clearly laid out job descriptions and a legible list of duties. One of which would be to check the vendor for patches and the such. Lack of time is a stretch but lack of initiative is sadly one of the common ones. Cheers, Don Hi joat,

The reasoning you just used sounded like the initial search for a scapegoat. Go back and take a look at your companies. Lack of time/initiative may be a symptom rather than a cause. Yikes!
