Serious question, did anyone else learn to save every work email from a retiring coworker?
Last week a guy who's been at my company 31 years pulled me aside before his last day and showed me his folder with saved emails going back to 2009, all split by client name. He said "when someone claims we promised them something, you want the receipt, not your memory." I always thought saving old emails was just clutter and I usually delete anything past 6 months, but hearing that from someone with that much time in made me change my settings that same afternoon. Now I've got an archive folder and it took me about 20 minutes to set up. Curious if anyone here has a cutoff rule they use, or do you just keep everything forever?
