The second one is more generic, but I agree with the first one

My PC didn't support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times

I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME

How to with John Wilson is the same vibe. I want to recommend it but it's very difficult to explain why it is so funny

There's a woman I haven't met in person but I have to send emails to about once a month to ask for something only her group can do

One time I did something like "could you help us get xxx report from your system by CoB? 😅 " and she replied that emojis could have a hidden meaning and are not professional and I should not use them in emails

Next time after she helped me I went to the greetings system we use and send her a public card for gratitute or team work with some gif of cute cats hugging. I think everyone had a similar experience with her because a lot of people liked the post and then they started doing the same

The worst part is that we have the option to give away points in the system that can be redeemed for gift cards but I've never seen anyone give her points, only cute gifs

Our performance was so great last year that the performance bonus will be 50% higher than usual. Meanwhile the company will reduce the headcount by 5-10% and they just announced that they will remove the free coffee to save costs...

That reminds me of 2015 when there was a big flood in Chennai. We were working on a project and the software team was located there. When the floods happened we didn't hear anything from them for a few days. A middle manager sent a very angry email to them complaining that we would not be able to make the milestones if they didn't work during that time and he actually asked us to send an email every few hours asking for updates (we all ignored the order except for one guy)

Thankfully upper management and the CEO office knew better and sent a support email to them and I believe they reprimanded the other manager.

After a few days we learned that some employees actually lost their lives and the office itself was affected and they're were not able to return to work for a few weeks
