OP here.
Your assumption is incorrect. I haven't been in touch with anyone in Google, and used 0 internal connections. Happy to make another post with my conversation + documentation to support this.
I reached out to the GCP through their regular channels. This is not a paid post, and we are not sponsored by Google in anyway.
- Exuma 6y agoYou only wrote half the story and no technical details...... why even write a post at all, it's just clickbait and you give no other information how what went wrong, how it got fixed, what exact technical problem was...
- dsymonds 6y agoDid you read Part 2, linked from the bottom? It has plenty of technical details.
- aidenn0 6y agoI didn't realize that was a link; seriously why does every website have to make links look different.
- betwixthewires 6y agoLol to me it looked like part 2 wasn't written yet, but I clicked it anyway just to check and the page loaded, so I read it. No real downside in getting a 404.
- CamelCaseName 6y agoUp until this comment, I did not realize that was a link either. Perhaps OP can edit the bottom to make it more clear?
- tunesmith 6y agoYou might want to take another look at your paragraph: > Having been a Googler for ~6.5 years and written dozens of project documents, incident reports, and what not, I knew how to put the case for Google team when they would come back to work in 2 days. That certainly reads as an advantage that most non-Googlers would not have.
- sudcha 6y agoThanks for sharing, I see now what you mean. I'll share the doc I prepared and sent to Google in my consult, in one of the next posts.
- tunesmith 6y agoFWIW, I didn't intend "deeply dissatisfying" as criticism against your writing, although I phrased that poorly so I can understand it coming across that way. If anything I feel for you when that unfair surprise hit you. It just sucks that it's possible, and that the odds feel against us when we're seeking a refund.
- swyx 6y agoit's an advantage, sure, but still he was right in saying he did not use internal connections as alleged. calm down everyone.
- betwixthewires 6y agoYeah, that would be a very good idea. The way it is stated gives that impression, and helping people how to understand how to resolve an issue like this would be priceless IMO.
- tbodt 6y agoYes, please make a post sharing your knowledge on how to convince them. I suspect most people would have no idea how to pull this off.
