  • When there’s a meeting and some higher up says “We need FOO to do BAR”, and the middle manager glances over at the tech lead to answer, they’re gonna say “I’ll see what $CURRENT_PROVIDER has to offer.” Then the middle manager will interject “Ah, and we’ll check $COMPETITOR[0] to see if we can save some cash”.

    Those ads are aimed at making sure IBM is in the zeroeth index of the middle managers COMPETITOR array.

    This sounds very serious. At this point, you need to decide if you want to live and possibly be paying medical debt off for a while, or die.

    Definitely put up a go fund me, but SWEET JESUS don’t let the thought of medical debt drive you to what is essentially suicide.

    Google tells me this:

    A bankruptcy follows you for a decade or less, so worst case, declare bankruptcy.
