I worked on one product where the build process was broken and I had to manually compile individual files and copy them up to the right place on the server. They paid for that extra time but wouldn't pay me to fix the build.
Heck one product I had to use a diff utility to copy/paste the changes to a massive single file perl script to have the new functionality but maintain the prod-specific tweaks. Brutal, but the fact it worked made them not want to spend any money on improving the process.

LOL. I hear ya, photon. Without naming names, it's alarming how some of the largest corporations do things in IT and it's the same across different industries.
