Been fired from a job 2 times in my 40 years,of working and Crowdstrike was a big part of the second firing…gather around its story time!

It was summer of 2018 and I was the Sales Engineer of the year at CarbonBlack. The new management brought in for the 2017 IPO at CarbonBlack decided to bring the North American sales teams together at our fancy new offices in Boulder, CO to rally the troops around the horrible NGAV product that the company had pivoted to in response to Cylance and Crowdstrike. It was so bad that I have blocked the name of it from my mind… but anyhow, during the last day of the onsite somebody from product marketing was up on stage trying to coach us on how to sell against Crowdstrike and they were really laying in to how crappy the Crowdstrike Linux software was. They kept repeating how shitty it was, I mean literally saying the word shit. After about 5 minutes of this I raised my hand and when they called on me I said, loud enough for the entire room to hear, that “Shit beats nothing any day of the week!” Oh did I forget to mention that CarbonBlack didn’t have a NGAV endpoint for Linux… anyways, less than 48 hours afterward I got the call from my dipshit of a new manager that I was fired.
