"Copied on the wrong email" may cost them 210M Company CFO and CIOs need to do better dilligence of their vendors. Two simple contract clauses: priced soliciting to price staff pouching, and treble-5x damages for IP theft. Develop a heuristic - any consultancies brought on from 3rd party contracts must sign enhanced protection clauses. Cite publicly available info to support your position. All it takes is a quick google and a few boilerplate clauses

Trick of the trade - either keep a former employee’s email active or just forward all emails to their address to something searchable. Especially if they are an older exec that was terminated, because they will fuck stuff up all the time with their boomer butter fingers. You will get CCs on all sorts of email chains which will help you in future litigation and termination issues.

  You could have given the same advice (which is very good, I do the same) without the age reference because if you've only seen boomers fuck up with butter fingers, you've been very lucky! (Preemptive disclaimer that I'm not a boomer. I'm not from the US, but if I were, I'd be gen X).

    You’re actually gen X outside of the US too, unfortunately!

      That’s not true! Google “Indian Generations” to understand where the difference lies. I believe it’s divided like so: 1947-65: Invested in National Success and self determination. Do more with less is key. Govt Jobs are the best jobs. 65-80: First Gen to start moving abroad, more private opportunities, care about making money and enterprise. 81-00: First exposure to the West, TV, entertainment. More holistic in their wants and desires, such as love. Witnessed the westernization. 00-16: Grew up with Western ideas and tech right beside them. More online, more diverse etc.

        A bit late, but I think these are orthogonal to Western generations. Probably due to increasing globalization of the world, but I find general attitudes toward socialization, romance, and technology to be very similar between Indians and Westerners of similar generations. Obviously Indian differences matter when it comes to a lot of things, but the older Western generation was surprisingly conservative too especially those who grew up in more rural places. The biggest differences usually come from how used to material comfort older Indians seem compared to Westerners.

      Heh, fair enough, I won't argue against that particular label, but my geographical disclaimer is because boomer doesn't really make sense (we never had a baby boom here).

    While Baby Boomer has a definition with a generally agreed upon starting date for births and a bit more fuzzy ending date, in recent years "boomer" has come to mean older people in general, usually those out of touch with current youth culture. From the perspective of a university student, a thirty year old giving advice on meeting people using OkCupid could be a boomer.
