The company would bid on government contracts, knowing full well they promised features that didn’t exists and never would, but calculating that the fine for not meeting the specs was lower than the benefit of the contract and getting the buyers locked into our system. I raised this to my boss, nothing changed and I quit shortly after.
I worked in government contracting (and government, for that matter) for years and that blows my mind. I can't remember the details, but if you even had a bad reviews, much less being found noncompliant, it could disqualify you entirely from some contract vehicles for a matter of years. Wild that there's some agency that somehow lets people get away with fraud.
Also, if that cost the government money, there's a chance you could report that after the fact and make some money.
The contractor I worked for was run by a man who used to say "if the contract says they'll blow up the contractor on delivery, we're putting in a bid and solve the problem later"
eh DHCP isn’t really important right? obviously if it hasn’t changed since the 80’s why would you need to reboot your server.
