At my first Help desk job we decommissioned hard drives by taking them to the range and shooting them with my boss's aircraft gun converted into a rifle (he was a former Air Force plane mechanic and kept a decommissioned barrel)
My current job is lame since we just stick them in a degausser.
Your old boss combined team building activities with useful work brilliantly
He was a fantastic boss like 90% of the time. He's the reason I went from a customer service rep to senior systems engineer in under 5 years.
He was a gun collector, not because he jerked off to the 2A, but because he thought guns were cool pieces of machinery, and shooting them was fun. He also had his own remote parcel of land with a proper backstop that was his gun range.
But, dude was bipolar 1, and his manic persona was a huge cunt. Luckily I only had to deal with it 3 times, and one of those times he instantly chilled out when I told him I had ADHD which caused the negative perception that I didn't care (this is around the time I was last promoted too)
Too bad he pissed off the C-suite, or I'd be IT director there now.
