they weren’t just starting and stopping them.
they were requesting all 300+ to be decommissioned and then a new ticket to recommission new ones.
I mean, what IT company doesn’t have their problems? at least the people I worked with didn’t have your attitude, so that made it an enriching experience.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 5 days ago:
it doesn’t make sense because it was never supposed to.
they wanted out of the contract and didn’t want to pay the fees. The contract was large enough that we couldn’t really take the hit to MRR and wouldn’t let them out without the fees. so, they were dicks about it and threatened the CEO with legal action, which is why we forced them into fulfilling the contract to term. they could have left at any time, had they been willing to pay the fees.
as for the VMs. they were remote consoles used in some financial business. I think they had a VPN from each of their locations that used thin-clients to connect to the VMs somehow. it didn’t matter if their user data was gone since they were all based on a single image that had all the software/configs built-in.
they paid per machine and storage volume. as long as they didn’t go over their contracted amount or under a threshold then they were in compliance with the contract. it was a mutually beneficial contract in the sense that they needed HA high volume VMs with low storage requirements at a fixed price. we offered that to them with volumetric licensing for Microsoft software at a competitive price. think of them like virtual workspaces.

I would be the shithead that would rotate from room to room daily just to fuck their billing up.
company I worked for had a customer that did this with virtual machines. every single week they would request their VMs from last week to be decommissioned and new ones to be built in their place. not bad if there’s only five or six. they had this done to over 300 VMs. we accepted for two years, the length of the contract and then promptly dropped them, hard.
the collective backlash caused the company to go bankrupt. they attempted to sue but our lawyers had already created enough documentation to prove we had successfully executed the contract the best of our abilities and had decided to not renew based on high operational costs attributed to the high maintenance requirement of their account and recommended they seek help from a larger competitive service.
the chaos they put operations through was horrible but was only part of the hell they unleashed. we had to dedicate a billing representative to their account because they contested every-single-fucking-bill. these calls would drag on for weeks before ending with them agreeing to pay what we were charging them, just before starting up for the next billing cycle.
point is, just because you’re locked in contract doesn’t mean they’re in control.

shhh…
it takes 10 gallons of intelligent discussion to dilute an ounce of stupid and the OC was about 400 gallons of pure unfiltered retarded stupidity.
they did have a point though, sometimes the only way to win is to not play.

I hate the one where you call them a fascist (because they literally are) and then they come around and call you a “blue MAGA”.
like bitch, if I was “blue MAGA” I’d be making IEDs and forcing abortions on women and shit. ain’t nobody got time for that. I’m building a garden so I can fuckin eat this year.
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 2 weeks ago:
I know several software devs who cannot save a dime and live paycheck to paycheck on around $2k a week.
$2,000. I used to get less than that a month at my first job.
just because you have to be smart doesn’t mean you’re brilliant. these devs failed to understand what budgeting was and would literally piss their paycheck away by eating out 3-4 times a day, bars, women, toys, etc.
I maxed out my 401k contributions every year. I saved half my check. I was able to save a lot, but recently I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck because everything is so damn expensive.
my point is, some of it is because of poor financial decisions. some of it is because COL is out of control. it’s hard to pass judgment on others when you don’t know their story.

yes, because the real problem is too much choice.
fuckin finbro bullshit.
I remember paying $10 for an Atari game. I know it’s not a great comparison, but I got hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay out of Qbert. Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?
It’s funny I mention Atari. They had so many games to play. the choices you had were bonkers. best part was you could take your carts to a friends house and trade or share.
can’t do that today since most games are digital downloads that need 32gb day-0 updates.
perhaps the problem isn’t the gamers, but instead it’s the greedy corporate interests that are poisoning the game industry requesting $80 single owner games.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
I used Spotify once years ago. wanted to listen to the Beatles or Bowie or something.
first song was good. then they started playing Sinatra, then Katy Perry, then someone else.
I removed it just because if I told you to play “X” you play “X”.
so glad I still have my 500gb collection of mp3s.

IDK why everyone is shitting on Katy Perry and frankly, I feel vindicated for shitting on her since I knew she was a cunt.
