The whole record keeping requirement for written correspondence generally seems completely unreasonable. Presumably telephone calls, zoom calls and in person meetings aren't recorded?

Why should that be different if it's written?

Of course they are.

No offense: Where have you been?

Working in education the last 10 years. I mean all of that seems really unreasonable if that's the case.

Where I work they took my work phone away because I wasn't using it enough. Now if I need to make a call, it's just with my cell phone. No way that's being recorded.

> in person meetings

Presume you don't sit down at the table and set up mics before you start talking?

Since when they are all recorded? It definitely wasn't the case ~15 years ago.

Way too much storage sitting in Utah for the conversations to not be kept for at least some time.

Obviously I can't show you.

I once mentioned "slack" on a messaging platform at an investment bank and the compliance team came after me pretty quickly.

Why do you presume that? Where I work every call is recorded.

How much data is that? Where it's stored? How's that achieved for the company provided IPhones?

What do iPhones have to do with this?

When I was working in the banking sector a lot of employees were provided with mobile phones to conduct business. If nowadays there is a requirement to record everything, how are voice calls are saved? In general for mobiles and in case of IPhones specifically.

Where I work you absolutely can't use a mobile phone to conduct business. Traders have dedicated lines and those are recorded. Traders also have chats which are also saved. The rest of staff uses teams or whatever. I assume that's recorded as well, but no one cares if you use something else.
