Nah, that doesn’t work when the substance of the change is this intense and has an actual effect on peoples’ bottom lines. If they wait a few months and try again, people will see their bills go up immediately and they’ll all get mad again. I don’t know what GH will do next, but if they try to do that, it will definitely backfire.
You might be surprised at how much you’re willing to surrender if someone gave you some time to come to terms with it.
It’s just a question of giving you enough time to move on from anger/shock/fear to toward acceptance. It’s like magic and is used all the time.
> Nah, that doesn’t work when…
Sounds like it could be another well known stage of the process called denial. Denial is when you tell yourself that something isn’t possible which makes you feel safer, when in fact you’re already moving toward acceptance - acceptance that you’re going to leave, or pay the price.
When they eventually roll it out (And they will, they always do), everyone will have had plenty of time to run the numbers and either come up with a plan, or just swallow the pill.
If you still complain in a few months then that's on you, because you've been warned.
A lot of evidence that this is not the case.
It happens a lot, Atlassian being a really prominent example with their “SaaS only” change.
sounds like it's time to increase their vendor lock in then an make sure they are not as compatible with other solutions.
I fear this would be the obvious conclusion.
