Did you read the linked government brief? I don’t trust the brief to not be misleading, but reading it at face value is pretty damning.

- s17n 5y agoThe brief accurately describes Google training ("if you're discussing anything that might possibly be a sensitive issue, make sure to add an attorney to the thread and seek their advice"), as did the parent comment. I've never worked at any other big company but the whole thing did feel like a standard corporate practice. In the long run, companies are just going to get more and more aggressive with their retention policies, so all this will be irrelevant.
