Cronyism
Is also rampant as I work in the media industry. Virtually every time someone gets a job of any importance the first anyone knows about it is when an email goes out telling us to congratulate them. Never a chance for anyone else to apply as it was already decided (that the job goes to their buddy).

Zero notice new starters are another frequent thing; The fun part being they usually have no where to sit in the department they are supposed to be working with, as no one thought to make sure there would actually be a desk available. Que them asking us where the person can sit. Oh, and 'if they can also have a computer to work on as they're already in the building that would be great yeah'.

As for the office moves they should now be a little easier because we recently put IP phones at every desk and every computer runs through them, so we no longer have to patch any cables in. Yay.

Macs are another thing that bug me - I'm pro choice and happy that they exist, they do some great things and innovate. However they're still crap in a corporate environment. Give me a Windows PC any day! ;)
