@magicMirror Because the cognitive skills of our management team are on a par with cockroaches, so they always get some unsuspecting devs on a sales pitch call to 'evaluate things'. Which translates to 'Help we are managers in a high tech company but we don' t know shit, please help us savvy tech guys and save our overpaid asses. '

@jaydee101 This sounds like management knows exactly what they want and invited devs for some reason other than for them to help.
Been on a conference call with some coworkers and a huge company which is trying to sell us a new tool for our CI environment. Sales guys ask us sensible questions about our requirements and try to find out our needs. No one of my coworkers says a word. Sales guys rephrase their questions but STILL: Crickets on the line from our side and this call gets embarrassing. So I try to explain our SW dev process and explain what we need for our CI and suddenly Mr. Manager sends me a text msg telling me to to "STFU!"....Oh well THANK YOU, I just tried to be polite to these sales guys who were invited by US and took their time to present us their really good tool. I mean cmon...what is F*CKING WRONG with you?
