Paperless is some stupid bullshit. Paper of all things is an easily renewable resource unlike electricity (still powered by coal and natural gas in most places) and computer chips.

Three Olives posted:My office is paperless now. Except none of our workflows are paperless so we now make lots of copies and print outs, scan them, and put them directly in the shredder. And we aren't allowed to retain paper backups of documents now that we are paperless, so we print them out again all the time and then put them into the shredder. I wish to see their “we are going green” press release they surely put out upon going “paperless”

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:They're actually geniuses, OP. If they don't do it, people use e-mail as a perpetual filing cabinet and every executive and C-level has some ridiculous 50 GB abomination that must be preserved at all costs and Outlook explodes when it tries to open it. gently caress e-mail. Well hello there, fellow IT professional. Have we worked with the same C-level guys? Probably not because every loving one of them are exactly like that.

Idk what else you'd do with emails. Save them separately on the disk? The Windows search is garbage now though. If it can't handle 50gb it's a piece of poo poo client imo Leave my massive inbox alone Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Apr 27, 2019 |

I remember reading about a company way back that required that employees set aside time to delete their unneeded files off the mainframe at the end of each week. They stopped when an employee tired of doing it did the math and showed the man-hours lost on deleten' friday far exceeded the cost of the space saved. This was in 1980's data prices too.

someone already mentioned it but it's 110% to keep as few emails around for whatever inevitable lawsuit pops up next

Paper of all things is an easily renewable resource unlike electricity (still powered by coal and natural gas in most places) and computer chips.  Paper archival with sustainable forestry behind it is carbon negative we should be discouraging paperless workplaces and should instead be creating makework entirely focused on putting trees in a box in a warehouse. Every greeting card, every kick me sign, every mapquest, put it in a box in a warehouse.

ITT: A whole lotta people who work for companies that are stingy as gently caress. 20USD per user per month gets you 100GB of email and a modern copy of Outlook (which automatically only caches the last year of email and keeps the rest on the server so you don't ever even have to hear the letters PST). MS has been selling that solution since before 2012, so this isn't even new. OP start throwing rocks at your IT guys.

AutoArgus posted:ITT: A whole lotta people who work for companies that are stingy as gently caress. There's just not a need for that much e-mail retention outside of fringe cases; 99% of the e-mail you receive can be deleted without any thought or repercussions. Having a bunch of storage for that is just doing it because you can.

My work's been warning everyone that anything older than 2 years is getting tossed so if you want that email from 2009 about god knows what, save it somewhere. I just know there will be insane gnashing of teeth when everything does get shitted away and it will be amazing.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:- your employer specifically wants to discourage you from retaining emails so that in the event of a lawsuit or criminal investigation, there is less evidence that could conceivably be discovered this is my guess. they specifically taught us to do this in records management school, for the exact listed reason.

Rad-daddio posted:....I have a single thumb drive(backed up in multiple locations) that the company gave to me when I was doing freelance design work for them. They don't even know I have it. Not that it matters, since the FDA seems like they don't give a gently caress about it anyways unless someone hands them a signed confession. upload that poo poo to the internet.

Rutibex posted:this is my guess. they specifically taught us to do this in records management school, for the exact listed reason. https://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/litigation-hold litigation hold (preservation orders or hold orders) Posted by: Margaret Rouse WhatIs.com Contributor(s): Stephen J. Bigelow Litigation hold (also known as "preservation orders" or "hold orders") is a stipulation requiring a company to preserve all data that may relate to a legal action involving the company. This requirement ensures that the data in question will be available for the discovery process prior to litigation. A company must preserve records when it learns of pending or imminent litigation, or when litigation is reasonably anticipated. Litigation hold prevents spoliation (destruction, alteration, or mutilation of evidence) which can have a catastrophic impact on the defense. An attorney may issue a litigation hold letter or a company may issue a hold order internally. The order applies not only to paper-based documents but also to electronically-stored information (ESI) Implementing a litigation hold process can be challenging for storage administrators. All companies must establish a sound retention policy and apply that policy to their storage systems. Storage systems with a litigation hold feature can then override the existing retention and deletion rules that have been established, preventing alteration or destruction of the data until the legal action has been resolved.
