    I once wrote a cloud status monitor UI for a corporation that wanted to migrate its customers away from on-premise.

    The availability was not good and managment ordered the red to be changed to a more pleasing color. A red bar for several hours made it too easy to notice that their cloud sucked.

    After some initial resistance, I „fixed“ the color, possibly mumbling obscenities.

    Some people said I am „difficult“ to work with. That might not be totally wrong, from their perspective.💁🏻‍♂️

      @icing to me you are pragmatic and the client was... looking for something else than being practical.

        @icing You're describing denial. Be happy, that you do not need to work for this coorperation anymore. Blaming somebody "difficult" is a rhetoric and psychological pattern. It's a kind of Blame-Shifting or Buck-Passing. Last year I've lost a bigger customer because of this. Today I am proud of, not working for him anymore:
