No, it's a common story of what DataDog sales is.

Used to be a customer, 7-figures annual invoice with DataDog, not anymore. Heck, working with them for years, I still managed to make a mistake and get 4-figures bill on my personal account.

Their sales are worse than paparazzi who spy on celebs. Avoid at all costs.

I think it speaks more towards salesmen in general than Datadog

That's too broad of a generalization tbh. Personal experience: I worked on large contracts with Google Cloud, AWS, DoIT, Cloudflare, and others. I have nothing bad to say about them: they do their job and we move along just fine. Except DataDog - intrusive, borderline stalking behavior.

Offensive because you work at DD?

It's relevant. It's a humorous and relatable personal anecdote aka a good story. It's not offensive.
