    four out of five companies in […Germany] continue to use fax machines and a third do so frequently or very frequently

    I didn’t expect it to be this high… But I guess it’s not unrealistic. My job doesn’t expose me to them at all.

      When I started my apprenticeship as assistant tax adviser in 2016, I used the fax regularly to send stuff to the IRS equivalent. I was also in charge of printing certain thing because the setup for those to come out right was unholy. In the company I am in now, we are pushing for digital solutions but still have a lot of clients with a listed fax number. One of our digital partners had fax: we don’t do that here written in their signature.

      It is a thing still sadly.
