To be fair: He was with the company for 27 years To also be fair: He had 27 years to learn inbox discipline

Geezus

Today I found out my company doesn't have a policy for deleted emails. Lmao. Almost 8k in my box 😂😭

one of our clients insists on sending an email to my whole team every time any ticket in our department is updated, but luckily they are easy to filter without missing actual emails from that client I keep my actual inbox clean but the filter folder has a little over 194k unread

We definitely couldn't do that. A lot of stuff that needs years of retention; most of that gets saved to the right places. But folks have to be able to look things up. I would only ever put a retention policy on the deleted items folder.

Shit all my emails get deleted after 2 years unless I archive them somewhere

That would be really really bad in business situations

Eh, I'm not applying to the whole mailbox; only deleted. I'm okay with that if someone deleted it.

... And then you end up with a litigation hold that has to build out exceptions for "never delete anything this user has received"

Every corporate job I've ever had has involved setting up a filter that sends noisy bullshit automated emails to a separate inbox where I don't care about reading them.

Kill it with fireeeee

This person hasn’t even read more work emails than I’ve probably ever gotten.

I know someone at a previous place of work that never emptied their trash because "what if they need it later"? Then constantly complained that Outlook was slow to open.

This makes my brain hurt
