I suspect this will almost certainly lead to more companies that have policies against these tools. I'm also assuming data retention policies would be the same as email? Such that you can delete them, but it has to be a stated policy with legally applicable timelines.
- ryandrake 3y agoThis doesn't seem much different than what companies must do with E-mail when they are under investigation or getting sued. Surely these chat applications have a configuration to allow for messages to not be deleted when under "litigation hold". No company that I know of has a policy against E-mail.
- taeric 3y agoMost policies regarding email are that some topics are off limits for email. Certainly speculative business conversations should not be done on email, largely because context matters a lot for those discussions. Though, you are right that most places ignore email until you get going pretty well, and then by that point the cat is out of the bag. It used to be that only official communications where important. And that was largely managed by you only kept official communications archived. Now that we can archive anything, it is getting kind of silly.
