When I worked there, the entire internet for the campus went down. It took down the Garmin website and everything else Garmin. The culprit? Everyone was streaming music and/or videos. Everything shared the same internet pipe and streaming music starved out essential business functions.

The next day all streaming services were blocked, and it was made clear we were being monitored for excess internet usage. Thus began the great brain drain to Apple, Amazon, and Samsung.

Well that, and the fact that they took away the nice toilet paper and replaced it with one—ply right around the same time.

One-ply toiler paper is where I draw the line. Nice toilet paper is a basic human right.

Also, WHAT company of this size would try to save on toilet paper. Are you kidding me?
