New So if you have no authority for changes
You don't really have any obligation to suggest them.

Except my pointy-haired crystal ball tells me you'll be the one whose blamed should any security be breached? Sigh. I guess you're right re needing a new job.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.

New On the contrary
Propose what changes you can, so that at least if they turn them down, those security breaches are THEIR fault. Make those proposals on paper. Require their Approval/Denial on the same paper as proof of accountability. You might find yourself gaining more control after the first few breaches. In other words CYA
