HOLY SHIT A PAYPHONE
SilvioTheGreat
No .. they are vax or 3270 emulator terminals. Still in use in some companies.
8hourgamer
if it's unused, why is it not dusty?
machstormer
No air flow + no living creatures = no dust
also, unused doesn't mean "uncleaned". Offices can be left unused, but never removed from the cleaning rota...
Good point.
Yeah, bureaucracy is like that. the BBC threw out a lot of Radiophonic Workshop tapes.. They were found in a storeroom. The procedure 1/
was 1) get person in to move tapes. 2) order skip, 3) throw tapes. No one had a job to order the skip, so the tapes sat in the room they 2/

Looks like a regular, modern-day Army office to me.
AntiCircleJerker
Seriously just a typical "busy" HHC office that has the paperwork I've been waiting on to get transferred for 4 months. Nothing special.
cheeseguy3412
Look, its near the phone! They'll get to it by 2021. Shame their funding runs out in 2020, though.
Those fucking desks are made of like, solid granite it too. They're too busy moving those around for briefs to get to paperwork.
SuperTacticalSandwich
Must be in a hospital. I hear some of them have entire wings that haven't been used in years
thats a good guess but its not
It's the DMV! Nobody ever does any work at those. Must be that
its in a phone company building, a big phone company

Why do you want to buy new computers? These ones work just fine
or do they
According to our purchasing office, yeah
TechnicallyRight
What did you black out?!?!!? I'm more interested in whats posted in the 30 year old room you felt needed to be blacked out.
@op thats gotta be like a mainframe operators room with a console command desk and several at that right? what is that room. so many things!
Only two chairs but 4 computers. One chair with wheels. I used to be a mainframe operator. I would wheel around like a king to my consoles.

That's one way to keep people from making personal phone calls... in the nineties.

Used to work for a company that had a dedicated line for employee personal calls, the receptionist would not answer line 4. 1994-96.

i know thats why its so preserved
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I never worked in a place big enough for an office to get lost with time, just left unused and unattended for years on end.
TacoPrime
Work at a university they have lab untouched for years.
Horsed
I had lectures in a movie theater (a. m. so no movies in the other rooms) because university was lacking space
Verelse
Novell abandoned an office here, and everything was untouched for about 7 years, except that the cleaners kept coming to clean up.
I heard it was abandoned due to a legal dispute, but I have no way to verify the story.
drcurlyfat
I was in the original HQ offices of Halliburton. There is some areas unused for 50-60 years. It's surreal. Still cleaned weekly too.
GooberSnotpants
right? Most places are starving for office space. Must not be in the city.
MrWolfwood
This depends, the older buildings are usually bought and paid for by the parent company, even the grounds. Newer stuff not so much.
Good point, I suppose. Having extra offices - must be a nice "problem" to have :-)
In ours we rented out 4 floors, it was decided our staff was not going to grow.
Worked at a Telecomunications company. They do the same thing, it's crazy to walk into an unused wing and boom, 60 years into the past
Sounds like a cool place to meet up on Friday nights and play board games :-)
textilelover
role playing. Rpgs, for sure. Like a 60's Call of Cthulhu. That would rock.
FilthyRaider
We had a room below the bank I worked with a full walk in safe, untouched for years. Had become a dumping ground.
Muttons1337
The shower next to our kitchen turned into exactly that. Because no one wants to see your sausage while you're cooking up bacon and eggs.
Ah if dumping grounds count, I guess I have after all. My old job had a huge basement that was just filled with old furniture. Very spooky!
HoovesMcBoozeThePartyCentaur
Full of ghosts complaining about bad lumbar support and carpal tunnel.
lol right. And they're probably annoyed about the (matrix) printer not working right or being too loud ;-)
Every time someone got a new desk, chair, shelves etc., the old was moved down there. It just grew worse and worse every year.
Someone else's job, you know. That's why it happens.
Oobiewankadoobie
I always migrate my old stuff to my house when I get new stuff from work. Got all kinds of goodies. Most importantly fiber snips for fishinn
thats how i got the 2 secretaries that do the laundry
When a friend of mine bought a warehouse as a workshop, he needed lots of shelves. We filled 4 trailers from that room (with permission).
