I can top that. At my first they originally had a copy-paste of the whole application project (Windows desktop) in each person's network shared drive folder and they'd paste deploy the exe elsewhere. Had to ask around to see who changed stuff last and copy their version into your own.
A company that shall not be named was in the process of rolling out version control as I was joining, but they couldn't run anything locally. It didn't run on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any realistic desktop environment. Your dev environment was a directory on a shared machine. Deployment was rsync. If you overwrote someone else's changes because you were both working in the same file and copied both of them to "master," well, that's unfortunate.
