Renewing with the current vendor and/or being bribed I can understand.
Recommendations from colleagues who used it at a previous company can be so bullshit. We had someone heavily recommend Monday for ticket management, and oh god was it awful. It made me miss JIRA.
Agreed. I hated Monday. We used it for 2 months at a start-up 2-3 years ago, and quickly missed Jira (which we then bought). Using Linear at a new place now, and it's actually pretty great.
