Major League Vaporware

For the past year or so, every time I went down the hall to get a cup of coffee, I passed by a nice, big, intellectually superior poster of a non-existent “advanced XXXX software architecture”. (I substituted XXX for the actual name in order to stay politically correct and to provide the appearance of “being nice”). Since:

  1. the damn monstrosity doesn’t exist
  2. there is no “recorded” physical evidence that the damn monstrosity exists
  3. nobody’s working on the damn monstrosity
  4. there are no plans to “allocate resources” to work on the damn monstrosity
  5. the damn monstrosity doesn’t make any sense with regard to our product portfolio

I decided to flip it over. I could’ve taken it down (even though I didn’t have the ‘authority’ <—- lol!) , but I left it up on purpose. On the back of the poster is nothing but a blank, vanilla, white background; nada. Since customers walk by that poster-lie all the time, I thought it would be best for the company to dispose of the lie before someone asked about it and a company representative would have to lie about the lie.

‘Nuff said.
