It was an internal tool and the VP was the head of IT. Everything still worked, it was just painful to use. He could have pulled the plug on it at any time.
Breaking fiduciary duty would be the first that comes to my mind.
Previous user took a very huge risk. I've seen similar stuff happen, you can get sued (along whoever told you, but you need proof) just for the sake of making an example in front of the rest of the company.
That said, I think it'd be a pretty tough argument to make that an employee following the instructions of their superior was breaching fiduciary duty. If they weren't acting to their employer's benefit, then whose? Employee fiduciary duty cases tend to be more about things like embezzling or competing with your own company while you're still working there.

There has to be proof about that. If everything was verbal how do you prove it?
There's no way around the fact that sabotaging your company is illegal and a breach of contract.
Fiduciary duty is a particular legal concept about the responsibility one party has to another, and only applies in specific, defined circumstances. A random developer doesn't have a fiduciary duty to anyone, and he wasn't taking any risk.
Even if it were an external tool, I fail to understand how there would be a legal problem. Companies use all sorts of shenanigans to encourage users to migrate. Immoral? Sure, but software crossed that bridge a long time ago.
Heaps of people online have stories about how Microsoft tricked them into upgrading Windows.
Sorry but creating a meeting in teams is almost completely disjointed from the equivalent process on Outlook. Half of the features are missing on the Teams side. I can't even see other people's calendar or add people from my contact list outside of the org. It's terribly integrated.
I think that's your organizations settings. I have virtually the same process to make a meeting in Teams as I do in Outlook. Both are easy. I can definitely add anyone from my contact list, including those outside of my org.
When I would go to my Professor’s office hours they would be swamped but about a half dozen students just trying to get passing grades. I feel like colleges now self-select for laziness. The less work you actually have to do, the less opportunity to fail.
I don’t want to be combative, but this has simply never worked for me. No matter what I do Shazam has produced incorrect results. I wonder if I’m the only one.
That is very strange. Either you've got some kind of network bug or problem with your microphone, or you're looking up music so obscure it's not on Shazam. Or the music is just way too quiet, especially if there's a lot of other noise.
It's not just you. It's super hit-or-miss for me. Do you have an Android phone? I've read complaints that Shazam's accuracy dropped for them after Apple bought it.
Not necessarily all of your issue I'm sure but genre plays a large part in discovery. I find it has a hard time with less popular electronic and soundcloud type beats for instance.
The government cured an incurable disease in a year and gave away its cure to its biggest enemies for free and people are still acting like the government is bad and oppressive. It really shuts down good dialogue when “the government” is demonized beyond all reason.
Even better are people who demonize governments and at the same time think it is somehow a good idea to vote people into government who run on not much more than claiming the government is evil and cannot function.
What do you even expect them to do? Enrich themselves? Make government even more dysfunctional to prove your point?
I don't know about you, but even if I believed governments are evil and dysfunctional I'd rather vote someone idealistic in who doesn't believe that and tries to really fix things. Unless of course you want the whole system to go down.
People flag you because you’re not using an appropriate tone for this site. Try being more curious and less accusatory. Less insults and more questions.
