structural engineers are required to keep all communications, notes, etc for seven to ten years, depending on the jurisdiction.
These super short email retention policies seem extremely unethical to me.

- dnadler 9y agoSame goes for financial firms.
- simonrobb 9y agoOnly for official RFIs though right? Not all email communication. (speaking from my experience as a structural engineer in Australia, things may be different here)
- mslate 9y agoThe Sony Pictures hack of 2014 caused a lot of companies to reflect on their data retention policies. Uber's special in that they set their retention policy to subvert criminal investigations, not to protect "trade secrets" I agree about structural engineers being an ideal though--old school engineers get "accountability" better than anyone
