I swear I've been in meeting exactly like those.

"Hi, Dave from SE regional, when you said that X isn't a feature you're aware of, we sold X to a new client and it's going to be a huge deal for us. So you misspoke?"

Yea this is uncomfortably close to reality

I don't even work in software, I work in Finance but it's great when there's a massive cost saving initiative and then sales comes out and is like "HEY IT'S ONLY $40k WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?! I TOLD MY CUSTOMER IT'LL BE A GLOSSY FINISH"

Haha, I know the feeling. Except in my case I was the CTO who quit. This show is so shockingly accurate at times it's downright uncomfortable, right down to crazy "moonshots" teams. It's that special sort of uncomfortable where you can't even really mention how close to home it is without insulting some of the people who have obvious counterparts in the show.

Well do you have a car where the doors go up at least
