PIVOT TO ETERNAL SUFFERING
:hb:
Salesforce is also successful because they are the grandmasters of price tier fuckery.

At first the price seems pretty ok for a small or midsized company that's growing fast and looking for a scalable enterprise solution.
It seems reasonable at first with about 20-50 bux per month & user. but as your org grows and are in the next user tier and you need more plugins or even some customization you'll suddenly find yourself at 250+.

What are you gonna do now? Switch CRM and change workflows? :shepicide:

They charge you for everything and have so much data they know exactly how to bleed their customers so it hurts them but not enough to bleed them dry.

every project i work on after the initial architecture is set up and we have a few basic PoCs built i always always always encourage the client to build what i call 'manager catnip' apps. useless things like flashy dashboards and reports and other things that more technical people view as useless but hoooo boy managers just go :gizz: for

you’d think libertarians being all “we don’t need laws private contracts can handle everything” would understand the idea of someone not being able to agree to a contract for reasons like incapacity or, say, they’re below a certain age where they can sign contracts

although the idea of tricking toddlers into a lifetime of indentured servitude with a single well timed candy bar is amusing in theory, “was this your signature on this legally binding contract, Timmy? And did the defendant supply you with said kit kat?”

i recently came across a very early CD I burned of important things from when we first got a CD burner in like, 2001 or so

by important things i mean that program that let you hit your desktop with a hammer and flamethrower, the yatta video and some guy lighting his farts on fire

Star trekkin was definitely one of the first songs I downloaded from the internet, probably mislabeled as Weird Al because that's what I was into

the literal first one I think was the theme from Austin Powers. Left the computer on all night with its 33.6 modem

One time I was in the Delta lounge at JFK and there was a salesforce guy sitting next to me that spent the whole time on the phone walking some client how to login. Like "ok hit login. ok click on the sidebar. Ok click on prospect funnel".

I drank another gin and tonic and watched the airplanes. That's my salesforce story thanks for listening.

if yospos had a soundtrack i'm pretty sure 'airport lounge with salesforce guy walking a client through logging in' would be on it

star trekkin was like the third or fourth single i ever bought (the others were all novelty songs as well)

at the same time i also bought my first album, appetite for destruction. i was a land of contrasts as a kid.

he's made p much these same arguments when someone brought it up before. "they're paying above minimum wage and offer benefits they don't even have to!"

he, of course, is paid well into six figgies, was given a generous signing bonus, and works from home when not traveling.
