One of our systems at work don't let you use the past thirteen passwords! Plus monthly password changes. Guess who's got a generic password that has an ever increasing number at the end of it...

If I'm not mistaken It's actually shown to be bad to change passwords that often because you end up with people writing them down

Yes, NIST now recommends against requiring periodic password changes in their official guidance document.
