After much lengthy waiting for a clear direction, finally we got it during yesterday meeting.

 

Finally, Bank A told us, "your application does not have market, difficult to use, not user friendly, we already engaging with another vendor to develop a more advance version of the same application and your application will be phased out in 3 months time". <--- Engaging another vendor without our knowledge and for the past 1 year, we had been fulfilling all change requests and enhancement until Sept 2008. Since then, whenever we ask when the project going be rolled out after waiting for 3 years, everyone in the project team keeps on telling us, "we are busy with other projects", "all key person are on leave, we cannot have a meeting with you now". All the lame excuses given to us and made us to make changes everywhere with the reasons of "becoming better".

 

3 years since completion and UAT-ed. From year 2006 until 2008, our application gone through 5 times of UAT and all the promises to launch the application were never been realised but keeps on postponing. The fact is the application is NEVER being push to the market to be used. How can it be not having any market? On what justification this statement came out?

 

My broken heart break into even smallest pieces with this long waited decision. No laughther, no anger, no more emotional feeling when I heard this news with my own ears. I am not sure if the 'waiting' had 'numbed' my senses or I am gradually turn myself to be 'cruel-er' than previous. Even after 36 hours, I still unable to define my emotional state on this decision.

 

I admit I did learnt a lot in this project from all aspects, but the 'suffering' of unfair treatment all these years really 'hurt' very deeply. 

 

My ex-team mate Darth Vader told me......"From fail you learn a lot, from success nothing much...this fail is for future R2(ie: me) become super robot."

 

Thanks Darth Vader & Tripio....for all the encouragement given all the time. R2 will continue to grow stronger and wiser.

 

Thanks boss for giving me this opportunity and also 'tolerated' with my grumbling all the time. I wouldn't say the nightmare had gone, but I will continue a new life by putting down this 'heavy baggage' immediately.
