I’m a millennial (late thirties), but I’ve worked in offices where there’s an internal mail system in which you write someone’s name on an envelope and then when it gets delivered, the name is scratched off to make it available for reuse for the next internal mailing.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI had an internship at a county hall once (IT department), I had to use those as well to have the back-up tapes I had to switch delivered to our other building every day.
- Darkphibre 6y agoI work at a top-5 tech corporation, and we still have that! Though the mail room is the closest destination, with three different outboxes, and personalized in-box slots. It's handy for sending physical items (such as ship-it badges, booklets bringing awareness to this or that, or the occasional physical bill to be expensed). If I have a package delivered, there's someone with corporate security clearances that will swing it by the desk.
