I Want To Know The Best Advice You Have Ever Been Given

I never delete work emails. It can save your butt even years later.

Today I received a phone call from my former supervisor at my previous place of employment. She asked me about something from 2 or 3 years ago.

Turns out a man who I had worked with is being investigated for allegations of corruption - and she was confirming some details with me because she was being interviewed by the government agency that look into these matters.

Holy hell, I'm so glad I never delete emails....... I gave her what she asked for and knew that if she needed evidence, I had the emails to back it up.

Never delete work emails, people 馃憣馃徎

Completely agree.......I archive and keep a backup. Not only a precaution for when others need info but even more precaution to cover your own ass when people start running their mouth.

@SW-User honestly the latter was probably the main reason I don't delete it. Yeah I archive too but I should probably make a copy of my archive files soon... I hear too many horror stories about archive files being corrupted and losing everything.

I never used to delete

My archive was huge - and I had such a good structure - knew where to find everything.

@InOtterWords haha there is no structure to mine. I just use the search function to look for what I need.
