Rocketman Posted December 9, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2014 When a user doesn't like your answer to a question, and they then schedule a meeting to discuss it Upgrading to Server 2008 is NOT possible in our environment, and is NOT going to happen because the customer is NOT going to pay for it. I'm sorry that a completely different group upgraded their software and now you can't do part of your work ... but that is NOT my fault, and much as I WANT to upgrade to 2008, it's just not fucking possible And no meeting is going to change that. Period. End of story. Game over. Game, Set and Match. Sheesh ... just buck up and deal with it. Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted December 9, 2014 I can safely say ... Probably Never. And if it does happen, it won't be because of this meeting. We are running Citrix version 4.5. Citrix 4.5 will NOT run on Windows 2008. In addition - if you upgrade Citrix (along with Windows) you have to start a new Farm, the 2 OS's and different Citrix versions do NOT run in the same farm together. Our customer has made it pretty clear (I've been trying to upgrade to 2008 for 3 of the 4 years I've worked here) that they aren't paying for the licenses, the hardware or our effort involved in such an upgrade.

KrAzY Posted December 9, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 9, 2014 well is it because you gave a different answer then they wanted to hear? Why did you knot use your ESP to read their mind and give them the exact answer they wanted in the first place???

Rocketman Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted December 9, 2014 Oh I know what answer they want, it's the same answer I want. But it's not the actual answer unfortunately. 7 minutes to meeting time. 8 minutes until I want to strangle someone.

Rocketman Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted December 9, 2014 OMFG Now he wants our Corporate customer Counterparts to GIVE US servers, so that 5 users can do their work (in a 400,000+ user environment) It would be funny ... if it weren't so sad.

OK. Individually, each of those words made sense. Put together them the way you did, made them into a vu jade moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
