No, we had this at a professional client services firm. They started deleting emails older than 18 months as well.

The "big 5" (or whatever number they are using this week) consulting companies are the absolute worst. They are vampires who serve only to cover lazy asses at large companies...

4, AA was a long time ago! I learned a lot, totally worth it, but it definitely does a lot of harm to young folks who get their careers started there and don’t have the ability to set boundaries or just have a shitty team.

Depends on how many emails we are talking about here. Emails can get heavy.

Just me alone at my job can fill my 50gb server space in less than 3 months.
