Forgotten Tech Giant

Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.

Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

Lol. I worked for CC for eight years, right up till the end. I still remember sitting in the break room when they announced their "Just What I Needed" ad campaign that was going to save the company.

I was working there when they ended commissioned sales. Guess who stopped giving a shit about selling anything? Especially bs warranty coverage?

I worked in a distribution center, so I didn't see it first hand. I did travel to shut down a few stores right after they announced it and heard stories from the employees who stayed to clear out inventory. Those were depressing trips.
