Yeah, generally if thats my response, i'm working pretty hard to keep said client.
Or I just walk out the door. Either one.
When this kind of thing is being setup to happen now pretty much always make my position very clear, email, multiple phone conversations and a meeting with executives about it - i've actually told one of them that i'd rather walk than implement something a certain way i know wont work.
Last response was not 24 hours later i got a call asking to go back and do it my way.
They don't doubt me now.
(this was about pushing 22 users up into "cloud" based imap mail to an Outlook client with a shitty provider VS sticking with Exchange. Complication? 384kbit upstream with no feasible options to increase, and about 10gb/mail month volume external, and 20-30GB/month internal (which is now external as well thanks to imap). They got 6/22 users across and already the internet choked and died - not to mention the blow back from the users when using Outlook w/ imap vs Outlook w/ Exchange)
