After spending 6 months justifying upgrades to management we finally received approval to upgrade SQL Server and the hardware needed.  In January 2017, we were still running an instance of 2K and 2005 on a second server.  When my supervisor notified the purchasing agent to make the deal, he received an email back that said, "this purchase was not going to be made to until the 4th quarter of 2018 at the very earliest."

Within 2 weeks, I signed on with another company.
