Not the point of this post, but it would be nice if we normalized the practice of, giving people a digital copy of a range of relevant files when their employment ends for any reason (performance reviews, all the contracts and NDAs etc that you signed when you started, information about benefits, options etc). People shouldn't need to try to frantically save this stuff.

Businesses will never do this without legislation.

In California you can ask current or previous employers for this info (I don't know how far back it goes, for example if you left 20 years ago I don't think this applies). https://mizrahilaw.com/california-personnel-file-request-labor-code-1198-5-226-432/ https://mizrahilaw.com/california-personnel-file-request-lab...

Yeah. While wholesale downloading when there is a retention policy in place does seem like a policy violation (… although, is it worth losing someone like this over? Corrective action would probably be more productive for everyone involved…) I have been in a layoff and the amount of emails regarding the terms of my layoff (including terms that I'm supposed to honor after departure) that only got sent to my corp inbox … it's ridiculous. If you want your employees to take your policies seriously, make sure your own house is in order first. Stuff as it relates to my employment at the company is, to me, sent to "me the person" not "me the employee" and crosses that threshold to "not corp" email. Next time CC my non-corp professional email. Also, the "Confidential: do not forward. We just shared on our public blog today … please help us by astroturfing on LinkedIn" emails.
