2018 - 2005 = 25?
I've never cared for people who do the cumulative years experience. 5 guys with 5 years experience = 25 cumulative years experience. Seems deceptive.
With that being said, I don't see the fuss here. If I were to start a new business, I would say the amount of years experience I had doing the work I was doing which is exactly what they seem to be doing. In this case I know that the business has been running for 13 years but they have an additional 12 years experience on top of that.

It's fine, when explained. The "people added up" thing, but it's REALLY weird for a company that claims to have lots of staff and locations to have been around for 13 years and when adding up everyone who works there to only come up to 25 years. That means each person has only a week or two of experience at best!
As an example, my HOUSEHOLD IT experience total is over 75 years. Household. If we counted the entire company, it would be insanely high. And it would reflect the size of company, not the experience of the staff.
Like my household has an average of more than 20 years per person. It's 25.67 actually. So my HOUSE has more experience than their COMPANY. That's nuts. And ours is 100% business, theirs is mostly home user. So wow, again.
For those wondering, my house has a 32, 30, and 15 years IT people.

They have eight drop off locations. Assuming the most benefit of the doubt possible, that they have a total staff of eight that has never turned over ever, so each location is a single guy... and 25 years of experience is the cumulative total experience of their staff, that means that the best case scenario is an average of 3 years of experience per person.
But we know that at least one location has been around for 13 years. Again, maximum benefit of the doubt and assuming the other 7 locations were opened inside of the "minimum experience remaining envelope period" then we have one guy that has 13 years experience and the remaining 7 people have an average of just 1.7 years.

Any additional staff, which seems pretty likely that no location is just one person, and certainly not headquarters, and any locations that existed longer ago than 20 months ago (which is pretty likely given that their site is last updated in 2016), we are starting to look at a company where pretty much the entire company just started working on computers last week or so.

One of the other techs had a Windows 2000 box that wasn't mapping a network drive immediate on boot.... The solution too that particular problem was easy, add a 60 second delay before running the net use remove and map commands on a batch file.
Now, Windows 2000 was my favorite version of Windows, but anyone actually running it in production today, what a time bomb that could go at any time!

Which type 1 hypervisor still supports Windows 2000?

Support and "it installed" are different matters

What IT person could think that was an acceptable thing to do

Obviously not someone thinking like an IT person, but rather as a developer.

Not sure why a developer would think that way, either. More like someone just liking being in control and not thinking about the ramifications.

IceHRM internal user creation
So, 7-15 characters long, only letters and numbers LOL.
What kind of backed end software would have that kind of limitation?
That could potentially be cracked in less than 2 seconds...

Different system than the firs tone. This one at least allows long, but no special characters. which is annoying.

My guess is that the password requirements are due to the database throwing a fit with special characters and or overly long passwords.

Both of those are easily remedied. Escape out the Special characters, and then make sure the DB Password field is set to a reasonable length (256 chars should be plenty for Encryped Password + Salting)
