Outdated stuff at your place of work

[Clippy]

Let's talk about it

Only 10 years ago I worked at a pizza place that still had a punch clock with the employee cardboards

Now I work in an office and we are using Outlook 2010

What you guys got?

A cleaning crew comes into our office at night to clean, but we still need a vacuum in case someone tracks in mud or something. This is what our vacuum looks like, except ours is in puke yellow.

I use a coal forge at work, these things date back like 1200 years or more.

In the UK, Windows XP is still the operating system for every hospital and gp practice I've worked in, in the NHS.

Massive data breach waiting to happen.

Shit, my work had that punch clock until maybe 3 years ago when it broke. Now we have to just write our times in on the same cards.

One of my employees in my department thought he got clever and wrote in 20 minutes earlier than he came in. I found a free online punch clock and made him clock in on that (and set it up so he had to clock in on his specific computer) so he couldn't lie.

The thing in my building that comes to mind is the asbestos. They have it on all of the ceiling panels. So you can’t touch them. It’s a really old building. They won’t remove it because they would have to tent the whole thing off and shit everything down for the duration.

Edit: shut everything down, not shit everything down.

I worked at a place around 3 years ago that had a machine still using 8" floppy disks.

Feel free to touch them, it won't hurt you unless you breath it in.

But is it outdated?

We had an early 1940s vintage railroad locomotive like the one below. They were built for the military during WWII.

Nuclear missile silos still use these.

I used to work at a bank. I left a couple of years ago but at that time they still were using XP for every single ATM they used and couldn't decide on a strategy on how to move away lol.
