Cool; pay 5x as much and lose your job!br -------br The CIO, Karen, Forced Me to Install a Cracked Software on the System, I Installed, which led to ruining Karen’s Reputation!br ---------br I was tasked with installing backup software at a basketball team’s office, but the CIO, Karen, insisted on using the cracked software to save costs. Despite the software being for Novell servers, she demanded I make it work for their Windows server. When I showed her it wouldn’t work, she refused to admit her mistake and insisted I proceed. I followed her instructions, installing the Novell version on the Windows server, which worked but wasn’t ideal. After fixing the neglected backup system and running a successful test, I called my boss, who intervened. In the end, Karen was forced to buy the correct software, and the team’s new CIO appreciated the recommendations I had made, establishing a future partnership.
