Deceptive & Deceitful, That's What They Are!
It's amazing to see the extent to which some people would go to to discredit another person/entity.
Our current vendor is one such being. Up tp this point in my career, I've never come across anyone who displays such lack of integrity and huge amounts of sneakiness/deceptiveness just to get their way.
Not only do they NOT own up to the fact that their system has more problems than expected, they sweep the problems under the "carpet" and even go straight to the CEO and users (bypassing PMO, the gatekeeper of standard processes and procedures) and use their sneaky tactics to get these 2 groups of people to agree to their demands so they can proceed to go-live. And these users also, dunno why they trust the vendor sooooo much... go and listen to them and agree with their demands! Like, WTF??!!! It's YOUR system, man... YOU'RE gonna have to deal with it and all the problems that come along with it after going live. And you're stupid enough to agree to proceed with so many problems! Hallo, have some common sense, will you???
Anyway, the vendor seems to have a personal vendetta against PMO coz we're putting in place (or rather, TRYING with not much help from the users) some procedures to try to ensure that the system is as bug-free as possible and this inevitably causes people to raise questions about the stability and reliability of the system and as such, might cause delays in the go-live date (but better late than sorry, methinks). So the vendor is going all out to discredit PMO, even up to the extent of going straight to the CEO to get certain things their way and complaining about the PM's decisions being made on the basis of "emotions". Which is not true, as PMO reports the status of the project and make recommendations based on facts.
Geez, what is wrong with this vendor????? If their system is not good, then just admit it lar and everyone works together to get the problems fixed. Every system will definitely have problems, everyone expects that... but they just make it worse when they keep saying "Oh, our system is fine. You can go-live any day." with the large number of defects staring right at our faces. They think the client is that stupid, is it??? Even if the users are blinded for now, eventually someone will see the light and all the shit that comes with it.
Bleecckk... I can take the fact that some things may go wrong and some people may not know how to do certain things. As long as they are HONEST about it. But I cannot tahan all this sneakiness and back-stabbing. Makes my blood boil and feel like smacking someone.
This is so unbelievable *rolling eyes*
