Yes, so when you get sent a “legal hold” notice, and you click on some kind of acceptance, you are basically acknowledging that you’ll get fired if you don’t preserve the data. That’s how this works. The incentive to compliance is that you don’t get fired by your general counsel.

- ClumsyPilot 4y agoIf someone is fired, then Upper management just used rank and file employees as a shield to escape legal liability. But if no-one is fired, then what? Responsibility just disappears?
- dwaite 4y agoThat a subordinate did not perform their duties does not absolve their superior of the consequences. The responsibility still ultimately falls on Google Legal and up to the executive team. They can choose to fire people if it makes them feel better, I suppose, but it won't change the consequences they will now face in litigation.
