Linked – The Simple Curse of The GIANT PDF in eDiscovery

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Granted, I’ve been out of the real world of litigation, working in the confines of a nice training environment instead. But is this STILL happening? Why aren’t the people on the receiving end of these going back to the Court to complain?

“In today’s world of eDiscovery it is still commonplace for a law firm clients to do their own data collecting. Even more commonplace is the CURSE OF THE GIANT PDF!!! Creating one large PDF of all the native files relative to litigation may sound like a convenient way to deliver data, in reality, it’s so not convenient. “

    Linked – Changing the eDiscovery Burnout Blueprint: Practical Solutions to Address Failing Mental Wellness in the eDiscovery Industry

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s great that someone is putting it all in writing with research. Still, until the collective response to our stories about dropping out of a wedding to pop open our laptop is “that’s not acceptable,” we will have this issue. We should reconsider the tales of all-nighters, working from vacations, and extraordinary efforts to get eDiscovery work done in time. Instead of wearing them like badges of honor, we should think of them as exploitation. What else would you call the expectation that you are available to respond 24/7, and when you sacrifice much of your personal and family life to meet that expectation, you are rewarded with a 2% raise at the end of the year? 

    Because as long as that is the job, mental health is going to be an issue.

    Linked – The Rise and Fall of Working From Home

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s an interesting story, but I’m going to go ahead and instead of just taking the employer’s word for what happened and why remote working doesn’t work, look at it a different way. You hired people for remote work. You didn’t set expectations around communication, availability, etc. You didn’t have regular, scheduled communication with them,…
