Millions of man-hours were put in to keep Y2K from happening. In their coverage of New Year's Eve 1999, ABC cut to the Y2K control room where people were amazed nothing was happening.

The only recognition all of those folks got for all of their work to keep the lights on and the planes in the air was the movie Office Space, and people who were disappointed they didn't fail.
