Tweeting the best of tech industry gossip. Got a tidbit? Drop us a line!

When #SolarWinds wises up and decides to get rid of VP S - will you fire her in front of everyone and send her across the #Atlantic with a one way ticket? It would be interesting to see how "professional" she thought that was. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


In conclusion we hope that everyone had a great time at #EmpowerMSP and - if you could just do us one favor....? #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


Of course - we can't forget that VP S had a hand in throwing around charges of sexual harassment so she could get rid of someone she didn't like in August 2015. #empowermsp #msp #managedservices #itsecurity #itsupport


Why does #SolarWinds have TWO VPs of Marketing? Because SW finally wised up and moved VP S into a position where she can't really be fired. VP of Corporate Marketing? What's the #KPI for that? How many times you can rebrand? #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


The other thing - and VP S said this more than once - she doesn't really like customers. Don't believe us? #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


Following the 2016 European conference - guess who's presentation got the lowest score? That';s right - none other than the "VP of Marketing". Beauty Fades! #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


So you'd think that with everyone fired, VP S would have it on easy street -but not so fast. Because here's the real dirty secret - VP S knows NOTHING about the product! Want proof? #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


That K missed a very important meeting with the head Bully and CEO. Yet - amazingly enough -absolutely nothing happened to Kim! Maybe you'll even see her at #empowermsp ! #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


But that week just kept getting worse for Stacy. Because her friend and head of PR, K - went out and got completely smashed that night. So smashed in fact.... #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


...after the employee was fired, they were put on the next plane across the Atlantic. Of course, this was done so that everyone in the office could see how "tough" Stacy was. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


But even that wasn't helping. And poor Stacey was getting pressure to do her job. So she did what all bullies do - pick on someone else. So, in December 2015, Stacy had a visiting employee fired in the #Edinburgh office ... #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


The CEO of ill #LogicNow even resorted to fudging the trial numbers so the company would still look nice and pretty. Because, after all, Beauty Fades! #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


The "Beauty Fades" campaign failed miserably. But it didn't really matter, since Stacy just had to put up a business front until LogicNow would be purchased by #SolarWinds in a few months. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


The result? The infamous "Beauty Fades" DIRECT MAIL campaign of October 2015. The image in the ad was of a mature woman with too much makeup on with the caption "Beauty Fades". All approved by #SolarWinds "diverse" VP. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


Failed VP Stacey also promised to bring in her "crack" designer firm - based in Cleveland - to handle all the marketing material from now on. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


So the managers at #LogicNow got together and told Stacy who she had to fire. Part of her job was to look like the bad guy, even though she made no decisions whatsoever. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


So naturally the first thing that had to go was the #marketing department. That's where Stacey VP comes in - her job was to create an uncomfortable atmosphere to get as many people to leave as possible. #empowermsp #msp #itsupport #itsecurity #tech


So, after a failed IPO in 2014, the venture group behind #LogicNow decided that they were going to dump the company on #Solarwinds. But the problem was that the company HQ was in #Edinburgh. That wasn't going to work. #managedservices #empowermsp #solarwinds #itsupport


And - believe us - we're not here to bash Women in IT. Women can kick butt at coding and business as much as men. The problem is that #SolarWinds isn't keeping Stacey around because she's a good VP. But because it makes them look #diverse. They're not. #EmpowerMSP #msp


We don't mean to start any kind of conspiracy theories - but isn't it strange that the VP of Marketing isn't showing up at her own conference? We're here to tell you why! solarwindsmsp.com/about-us/leade… #EmpowerMSP #managedservices #itsupport #solarwinds #msp #itsecurity #security
