That's an anti-feature from a legal discovery perspective. Unless everyone is extremely conscientious about every word, you have 15 years' worth of chat logs and emails with offhand comments, jokes, etc. All of which can be taken out of context by a skilled legal team.
Sometimes ephemeral communication is a feature.

Unless everyone is extremely conscientious about every word, you have 15 years' worth of chat logs and emails with offhand comments, jokes, etc. All of which can be taken out of context by a skilled legal team. I am ignorant of the operation of the law but why would taking quotes out of context present legal risk? Wouldn't the misquoted be able to supplement the record with the missing context?
- DougWebb 7y agoI'm pretty certain that my 20 years' worth of /work/ chat logs and emails do not contain any offhand comments, jokes, etc. Perhaps you're not working with professional people.
- confidantlake 7y agoI don't think it is unprofessional to make jokes in chat channels. It helps to build closer connections with colleagues which helps with non joke communication. I am honestly quite surprised you have not seen any jokes in 20 years in chat channels.
- DougWebb 7y agoJokes, sure, but not any that could be taken to be offensive or problematic.
