Tr33294yDon'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. -
stop68674yIf you sign this off (hand over the price sheat for the renewal) we can bring it online, if not the system stays down.

@SuaveSteve Just the business world. It's full of a million copies of the same idiot.
Cookie cutter dumbass. -
Don’t say ”we are shutting it down”
Say ”it will be shut down” - as if it’s a force of nature.
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.
