I'm so over the politics....

System team: So, we've rewritten the entire site and the stats are looking pretty great. We're more than a year into the two-month transition period, and hey, that's cool, no judgement. But now we're gonna hit a license expiration on the old site, so we need to shut it down, or otherwise pay a ridiculously big amount to renew the license.

Business: nooooooooo you can't shut down the old site!

Systems: but nobody is using it

Business: yes, they are

Systems: no, they're really not, we checked and everything

Business: ...........

Systems: ok, well are you gonna pay for the license renewal?

Business: oh hell no

Systems: ok then we're shutting it down

Business: ..............

Systems: ok, it's down

Business: how dare you! We didn't sign off on that! Bring it back immediately!

Systems: are you gonna pay the license?

Business: no! now bring it back!

FML.

    Don't see the point to get bad mad about it.

    I don't even know why people arguing with their bosses about things like these.

    If you sign this off (hand over the price sheat for the renewal) we can bring it online, if not the system stays down.

    Don’t say ”we are shutting it down”
    Say ”it will be shut down” - as if it’s a force of nature.

    @SuaveSteve I guess it should make me feel better to know I'm not alone...
