What To Say About Metadata?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve been working on an outline for a presentation I’m going to be doing to some records management folks later this month. I’m planning on helping them grasp some of the technical aspects of ediscovery, metadata, forensics, etc. I’ll probably do some hands-on with file recovery tools, Md5 hashes, and how copying or moving a file can impact the metadata, along with some general information about what metadata is and what it means.

I’ll probably also talk a bit about ediscovery from the cloud and social networks as well, without getting into the legal questions that are still sort of getting sorted out, since I’m not a lawyer.

My question for you, dear reader, is what else should I be thinking about? If you are, or know people in records management, what should they know, or what do they have questions about? I’d love to get some more ideas for areas to cover, so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment!

Linked – What Quiet Quitting Really Means for Employees and Leaders

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Let’s face it, what company in the tech or legal sector is not telling employees that the way to get ahead is to go “above and beyond” their job description? Or, as I also hear often, to get that promotion, you need to be doing part of the next job on your career path.

I also know many people, especially younger people, who hear that and immediately ask why they should be doing a job that isn’t the job they are getting paid to do.

That’s a fair question. Why should any of us stress ourselves to take on responsibilities that might allow us to get a promotion and eventually be paid for doing that work someday? Let’s face it; many people have been doing that work and getting no promotions or salary adjustments for years. They see that and want no part of it. 

Why would we do that to ourselves? Maybe we all should figure out a better way to evaluate and promote people.
