BMC has no shame. They know that they are on thin ice with this community due to their horrible support and shoddy product workmanship as of late. David has always been an good advocate for them and has really tried hard to convince us that they are not as bad as we think they are. Hopefully David did not have to sign a non-disclosure agreement and can finally let the gloves come off so that we know what really goes on behind the scenes at BMC. If he ever wrote a book on how not run a software company, I'd buy it. Good luck, David.
Jesus Ortega From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Easter, David Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 8:25 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: OT: An unexpected fork in the road... ** Hi All, I watched the movie "Moneyball" a few nights ago. Billy Beane (general manager for the Oakland A's) had advice for delivering bad news - just give it to 'em straight. So here goes. As of April 5th, I'm no longer an employee of BMC Software, Inc. While my disclaimer has always stated that my participation in this group wasn't an official function for BMC, obviously this turn of events puts a significant kink in my continued involvement in the ARSList. :-) Note that this is in no way a result of the April Fool's posting that I sent out... lest someone jump to an errant conclusion. I won't be able to discuss any details of the situation, but you guys deserved to hear the news straight from the horse's a.... er... mouth. This has been an amazing 7 years of my career and all of you are the reason for that. This is the most vibrant, animated and supportive group I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. I've met many of you in person, talked with even more in virtual space, but I feel like a part of a family with all of you. I will truly miss the opportunity to represent the brand and products that you channel so much passion and positive energy towards. This E-mail address (david_eas...@bmc.com<mailto:david_eas...@bmc.com>) will cease functioning, but I've created a new E-mail address (david_easter...@yahoo.com<mailto:david_easter...@yahoo.com>) and subscribed to the list as a "private citizen". I'll continue to contribute what I can - just from a different vantage point. So this isn't goodbye - just a change in the weather... -David J.
