Reposting my comment from a couple of months ago:

At one of my jobs, they used Asana when I started. It was too full of backlogged issues, so we moved over to Jira. Then Jira got too full. A month before I was laid off, one of my coworkers said, "Maybe we should try out Asana."

I fear to know what “Jira got too full” means but I suspect I’ll find out if I stay in my current workplace long enough.
I don't understand what full means. It is weird being at a place long enough to see ticket 1 and ticket 60k, though.
It means there are so many tickets that are never going to be implemented any time soon that it becomes hard to find the ones that are (or should be).
If you’re still at five digit jiras the company must be very small.
With the Jira I know you can have arbitrary prefixes and independent number ranges for IDs
yeah, only a few dozen developers
You should have just periodically flushed old tickets. Everybody would have been happy, and none the wiser :)
That is so toxic and just painful to read. Hard to understand how people function like that.
