Comment on I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office
nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 weeks agoI’ve worked in it for 30+ years and I will assure you, if you want people to come to the office in this day and age, just in case something critical might fall over, you’re doing it wrong.
It’s no longer the age of kernel panics on your sluggish HP D9000 anymore. Although… where the f did I put the boot tape again now… fml. Effing tapes dammit.

If this is one of those shitty companies that makes people come into the office I could see IT guys wanting to do some maintenance when folks are gone. I remember back in the day I patched a few hundred Windows machines on a holiday because I could get it done faster without having to pull Karen away from her Freecell game.
Of course, back then I had to go from PC to PC with a Windows update disk which isn’t the case anymore. Maybe they needed to route some cables? Do some network maintenance?

Sounds like the last patch for Windows 3.11

I think it was upgrading to Win 2K but it was a quarter century ago

Windows NT SP6a maybe? Hah. 6 was such a disaster, remember that one?
