Re: Early 2000's
I've experienced a couple of issues like this being emailed to tell me we can use emails again and another when we were not told that the system was ready to use again after an emergency outage to replace a pair of dodgy power supplies (one failed completely and the second started logging errors before it could be replaced(. I had over 1000 users waiting to log in again but never got a call from the IT PM. When I finally found someone who knew what was going on it turned out the psu's had been replaced then they went to the pub with the engineer.
