My first manager's advice about keeping a paper trail felt like paranoia back in 2015, but it saved my butt at the Ohio labor board 8 years later
When I started my first real office job in Cleveland, my manager Deb pulled me aside and said to email myself a summary of every meeting so there is a timestamp. I thought she was being dramatic and did it half heartedly for maybe 6 weeks. Fast forward 8 years and a new boss tried to pin a missed deadline on me that we had talked about moving in a hallway chat. I dug up a self forwarded email from 3 years prior with the new date in writing, and the labor board sided with me in under 20 minutes. Now I want to know, does anyone still do this, or do you use some app instead of emailing yourself like a weirdo?
