They no longer just turn off the PC and go home. At least now the shut it down first.

We had a customer with >1000 workstations with repeated data corruption that seemed to originate in one area. Eventually we sent somebody to sit and watch some typists at work. Turned out that a mapping issue meant that their computers walked the entire LAN and WAN looking for a printer in the same room. But if they flicked off and on their computer, the document would print as soon as Windows starts up. I kid you not.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
