It’s so if we’re ever sued over anything then we’ve only got 6 months of history that we’re liable for during discovery.

Lawyers figured out it was a nightmare going through 20+ years of emails, so the ‘solution’ was simply to just not keep records for very long.

Technically you can archive important emails, but they’ve made that harder and harder to do and it’s not always like you know what’s going to be important later, so it’s really easy to not save something you should have.

I really hate that my work has a policy of deleting all chats and emails older than 6 months… And most of my projects last for longer than that, so you’re typically missing most of the emails from the start when you’re at the end.
