They ask me for a quote for a large number of hours, for high-level support in a critical environment. I give them an extremely low quote (my mechanic charges much more in labor just to service my car).

They disappear. I ask for updates, and they reply that their budget for this job is less than half.

I wish them good luck with their search.

@stefano Its the common national anthem of wanting enterprise service on a mickey mouse budget.

@stefano Tell them that at this rate, you are willing to try to turn it off and on again.

@stefano sounds like they have the wrong budget...

@caffetino they’re reselling the service, so they’re trying to margin it as much as they can
