I've seen worse in private companies. For example I once did some consulting for a company that manages an industrial production line using software written by a single "rock star" programmer leading a team of imbeciles. Dude is adamantly opposed to version control and his "process" for deploying new code to production hardware is to manually rename the active version to .BAK and copy over the new one. He keeps track of versions by remembering which computer has which version installed. This is in a company where if the line goes down, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour till it comes back up.
