Currently working at a small manufacturing business that is drowning in the "we've always done it this way..." mentality and I just hope I can get out of here before it bites them in the ass.

Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster? Surely companies can't limp along indefinitely... right?

I used to work for a construction company that made hundreds of millions on property management after each build. They were so fine being in their ways, I was laid off after they realized how much work modernization would be.
