I really lived this once. I was an engineering manager of a team that maintained an app that was used extensively by a particular business unit. My understanding was the app was a money maker because customers contracted to have people use this (it was a BPO unit). I was tasked with providing a demo to the new CTO and a few other execs. We had worked hard for a couple of years and really improved the app a lot. I got through the demo and.. silence, nothing. They moved on to other things. I found this to be very very odd. I found out months later that all the revenue from the app was booked to another group, and my team was a huge drag on the org we were in. As such, our hard work was not rewarded, raises were pitiful. Most the team quit, lay offs, then I quit. So yeah it’s good to know what’s going on.
