we kept the blackberry contract, offered support, and integrated (kind of) with our system for years after we should have because three people refused to give theirs up because they liked the keyboard. the cost per user in $, time, and headaches was hilarious.

there are several people in the building who should have been fired years ago, have had consultancies come in to improve their performance and have multiple people quit, citing them as the reason, but they stick around.

welcome to corporate.

oh hey that sounds like my old job

we were walking papers to people desks in 2015 because one guy preferred to fax to email instead of forwarding

Mute the actual meeting (as in speaker off) because you're bored/waiting/not interested/whatever then bc you've got some time on your hands do your voicemail on speakerphone is my guess

if you muted the meeting you'd have your mic off though

also if you started dialling your voice mail everyone the tones first

how I'd do it is put conference on hold, three way the voice mail in

at my old job i called 911 at least three times lol

luckily they would just call reception before dispatching units cause it happened often, our phone system was poo poo to accomodate our old rear end idiotic users and our users were terrible old idiots

also i once spent an hour trying to dial overseas before saying gently caress it and emailing the guy to call me instead

maybe... i'm the idiot

our IDM team has had projects on the books each year since 2012 to stand up the replacement system and finally sunset this one. only last year did the new one get stood up, and they're way loving far behind on migrations to it. whenever they begin asking us to list risks or issues on a project, i call them out specifically as one. And I'm never wrong.

oh hey i'm getting flashbacks to my old job, where they let replacing an ancilliary system wait for so long that everyone who knew how the first one had been set up retired, and everyone who knew how to use it left

you could replace the whole thing with an open source product (like, there are multiple open source projects that would do that, nevermind commercial option) with a couple weeks of data entry, because the only efficient way to port data out of the old system is to print it to paper and retype

but the last guy who knew that left a long time back lol
