> Based on the comments I see here, I think the focus is going on the turnstiles just as it did when I worked there.

You titled the piece after the turnstiles and spent the overwhelming majority of the post talking about them (and surrounding physical features). The Jira ticket felt secondary, and when it was introduced in the middle of the post I was genuinely confused, thinking why the heck the card system was contacting Jira.

People reading your writing are going to focus on whatever you did when you wrote it. The turnstiles read like the important part.

The part about Jira is important because it highlights that while the company claims to take security seriously, they in fact do not take it seriously.

The incompetence of the turnstiles makes it a good focus for the story while the juxtaposition of the turnstiles with Jira exposes the company's hypocrisy.
