Why did they hire you? If it is because of your PostgreSQL knowledge
then I suggest you:
- do a quick private audit of the problems and document them well
- arrange a meeting with your superior and tell him what you have
found
- propose solutions and give a rough estimate of time frame to fix
what is broken
Cheers
