The system monitoring software which was still running had multiple pages of messages which no one seemed to be paying any attention to despite the daily emails.
I decided after an hour of poking around that it was going to take at least a week to clean up the mess so I suggested that the manager have a current staffer take the time to study my notes and clean up the mess and keep it cleaned up. Otherwise, I could see myself getting another phone call in 6 months.
And yeah, not much has changed and, sadly, it likely won't change that much in the future.
