As I recall our consultancy had one or two projects in the mid/late 1990s where it was an issue, and we knew folks who were more directly grinding away on affected systems, but for the majority of the people in the industry it was a noop.

Keep in mind that the industry itself saw a huge influx of workers starting in the early and mid-1990s as part of the first Internet boom. There was a ton of new cultural energy around tech related to the Web, and none of the tech under/around any of these jobs/businesses/etc had any Y2K issues. I recall it being pretty clear from a "vibes" perspective by mid-1999 that the turnover was going to be something the kids now know as a nothingburger.
