Gongster

That is what Gong employees now refer to themselves as.

If you work there, or are considering it, then I would encourage you to disconnect/step away from that feeding tube and run in the other direction.

I forget who it was that posted earlier about interviewing at Gong, this is all you need to know. Do they have a LinkedIn KPI? I swear they do… either that or their families are held hostage

Someone needs to create a sketch on an ex Gongster who is suffering from withdrawals from the Gong Coolaid as they try to join a new org.

Coming here to bitch about Gong because they just really pissed me off, and not with their normal LinkedIn bullshit.

Gong has us over the barrel, integrated in literally everything we do (not my choice, it was setup like this when I started). Gong decides to release an update a couple weeks ago without saying a word to us.

Said update completely breaks our SFDC integration and we have now lost 2 weeks worth of deal tracking and data. So now we are trying to update so we can (hopefully) recover old stuff and solve everything moving forward but to get said update we have to create a ticket and wait some ridiculous amount of time for them to push it to us (and i'm just waiting for them to tell us we need to pay more for the update).

So beyond all the normal BS, fuck Gong. Ruined my morning.

Its not even an option at this point. Our product and engineering team uses it all the time too so we can get product feedback on what they need to build, marketing uses it to understand objections and how to build battlecards, sales team obviously uses it. It would be too hard to pull out. Just really fucking frustrating.

Find a nearby power cord, preferably for a MacBook. Tie it into a thong shape. Slip it on and plug the power adapter into your brown hole. Done.

Wingman is a way better alternate. No, they're not paying me $10 to say this. No, I ain't from Wingman. No, I fill in the blank...
