- The company is transitioning to a vibe-coded SaaS platform due to financial struggles, leading to layoffs.
- Leadership chose the SaaS to eliminate engineering, implementation, and support headcount, relying on contracted sales teams.
- The author is tasked with migrating data to the new platform alone, despite legal and functional concerns.
- The SaaS platform violates multiple U.S. laws (CCPA, CPRA, TCPA, CAN-SPAM, ADA) due to its foreign origin and lack of compliance.
- The platform's poor quality, likely LLM-generated without oversight, includes broken features and critical business flaws.
- The author expresses concern over the displacement of jobs and the societal impact of negligent, machine-generated software.
- Despite understanding the company's financial failure, the pivot to a non-compliant, broken SaaS is hard to accept.
