CC to your boss and co-workers everything and, in some extreme cases, CTO and CISO too. I did this knowing entirely that emails were archived for six years due to legal reasons and can be retrieved anytime, even if someone deleted everything from their end.
Jono_p82@nixCraft I do this all the time and my bosses typically respond by calling me rather than replying to the email and asking me not to email them about certain things and that they'd rather I just call them to discuss. I try to follow up those calls with an email summarizing our conversations 😂
tavi cat@nixCraft Ah yes, mutt blame, I've heard about this

And always put a third party in CC.

Otto@nixCraft Agreed. I've had people tell me that a few times, and they're wrong. Chat is not faster.
Chat seems faster to the person making a request because they don't have to type out what they're thinking and why they are making a request. But to the person receiving these requests, it is much slower because they are having their time interrupted and not being able to work in a decent manner and with ordered requests.
Chat is a demand upon other people's time, rather than a request.
Ubongabasi Jerome@nixCraft Important!! ✌️
Elendol@nixCraft that’s also why I find very disappointing that Teams meetings recordings are not stored forever by default.

Simonoid@nixCraft I once had a coworker who got visibly upset when I took notes during our "chats" and emailed him and my boss "as per our discussion".
Shlee fooled around &
Simon White@nixCraft someone is underestimating enterprise chat logging

oh, chat creates evidence too, but depending on who permission structure, access to it is not usually so equally available.

@nixCraft also a good habit to write contemporaneous emails about important verbal conversations
\ˈthē-ˈˈärd-ˌvärk\@nixCraft In the UK civil service, I was taught this was APM - "Arse Protection Mode". Always evidence things with an email, even if they were agreed verbally. Write that shit in an email and send it to the other party.
