companies fill filling form large postal regular seen service several states united worked
I've worked in several large companies (e.g., SRI, McGraw-Hill, the United States Postal Service) and never seen anything like it. You couldn't get anything done without filling out a form. There was even a form that you had to fill out when there wasn't any regular form available.
