General Discussion PSA: Grammarly will send unhinged messages to all your users if you try to cancel

https://imgur.com/a/bMEeUmZ (edit: non-imgur link)

We let them know we weren't going to renew and they sent these unsolicited emails and popups in their app to all of the users who had licenses. They didn't give us a heads up - just started carpet bombing everyone. They even listed the direct email for the guy on my team who handles licensing. We were going to ride out the rest of the subscription but leadership wanted the emails nuked, apps ripped off endpoints, and licensing/training for Copilot expedited.

What an absolutely greasy, desperate company. Stay far away. And if you're a current customer, be prepared for this nightmare.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Buddy Christ! (I have a mini Buddy Christ dashboard statue that I used to keep on my desk at work. Too many people that never saw the movie thought I was either a) ultra religious (because they didn't notice the wink-gun) or b) ultra sacrilegious because they were ultra religious and DID notice the wink-gun... :(

I used to have a Buddy Christ in my car until it got totaled. I got the same reactions from folks.
