Linked – Why We Started CorporateEdiscovery.com

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This seems really interesting. Not only for in-house folks dealing with eDiscovery but also for those of us in a law firm, or other entity, that works with those folks. It never hurts to be able to understand what your clients are dealing with. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this site.

“CorporateEdiscovery.com is devoted to ideas, the ones that find solutions to daily challenges and the ones that create new blueprints for how businesses can function. There will be a myriad of experienced industry voices reflected as we grow. This site will contain news, expert columnists, diverse features, job listings and an expansive resource library full of case studies, whitepapers, guides and educational information. Ultimately our goal is to create a dedicated ‘go to’ source for all corporate professionals whose jobs involve ediscovery.”

Linked – Facebook Introduces WordPress Plugin for Instant Articles

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

To be honest, I’ve not paid much attention to the upcoming availability of Facebook’s Instant Articles for all publishers. I know the big “plus” seems to revolve around advertising revenue, and since I don’t have ads at all, that doesn’t appeal to me. I am somewhat curious about whether Instant Articles could grow an audience…

They let users embed images with free accounts for years, and then suddenly changed that policy… “But the new policy has also affected historical social media posts, blogs and forums that were reliant on Photobucket. One of those affected is Stampboards, a forum with more than 17,000 members who discuss postage stamps and share images…

Linked: Will mental health resources evaporate post-pandemic?

It just goes to show what I’ve always said, your company is not your family, it’s not even a friend, and it will always do what is good for itself first, second, and always. If something also happens to be good for you, great, but that’s never been the goal, so you have to make decisions based on what is good for you, not the company.

If you think that’s an overly negative thing to say about CEOs and upper management, go read those percentages again, and consider how many of those same people expect your loyalty, and your dedication during difficult times, without offering the same in return. Also, consider how many HR people have proclaimed themselves as being there for employees, and yet also think employees expect too much. It’s not overly negative when it’s true.

Xerox Copiers Altering Documents

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Apparently, Xerox scanners/photocopiers randomly alter numbers in scanned documents. Naturally, I immediately wondered of any of those altered documents wound up involved in eDiscovery? Update: Xerox has responded on their own blog. As I suspected, it wouldn’t be common for the characters to get changed as described in the first post, but you could certainly…

So, if you are a firm with Morgan Stanley as a client, maybe the easy thing is to just say “hey, our huge client wants us back in the office and wants to have in-person meetings, so you’ve got to come back”.

But it’s never really that simple, is it? What do you do if your staff and lawyers really don’t want to be in the office full-time? What if some of the same people who first attracted Morgan Stanley to your firm are willing to leave to work at a firm that is more flexible?

Now that you are only recruiting among the legal folks who want to be in the office five days a week, is your talent up to snuff to keep Morgan Stanley as a client?
