A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

I've been involved in enterprise tech sales. The company that flies the CTOs out to a nice destination, take them golfing, and give the CTO an excuse to stay away from their family under the guise of "but my job needs this!"... That's the company that wins usually.

I am attached to a lot of these engagements "just in case" the customer actually cares about the product and needs to know. I'd say 9/10 times I'm not even asked to speak. I'm happy when a prospective customer calls us on the sales bullshit and lets me get down to the meat of the product.
