I almost don’t even bother reading my email anymore because almost all work happens over slack and zoom. Do they have the same retention requirements for all other non-email communication channels?
- rib3ye 2y agoI started working in the entertainment industry several years ago. If there's accountability on the line, bosses want it in an email so they can point the finger at someone when they try to slither their way out of a fuckup.
- Nerada 2y agoI work in a heavily regulated industry, and 'yes' is the answer for us, even going as far as mobile-first IM platforms. There's a very small number of vendors who pull in lots of money making UI hooks for things like WeChat and WhatsApp just so we can store the messages for the people in Risk and Compliance.

- darthwalsh 2y agoThis is the norm at big companies. During your Company Ethics training (when you learn about insider training and not bribing government officials) they also tell you "never comment on the legality of something unless you're a lawyer. But if you do, say it in a meeting and not digitally."
