Attention law firm IT people

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just a request, and maybe you can provide an explanation of why this happens too. Can you please train the lawyers and legal assistants that you work for to actually attach a document when they’re sending it to an outside entity, like the one I work for? I’m really tired of getting yelled at by my users because they can’t open the attachments when all that really got sent to them was a link to the document as it exists in your document management system. Obviously, from here, that link is useless.

Thanks, I’d appreciate it! 🙂

Update: Dennis Kennedy provides some insight, and a good suggestion for people in my shoes, in response.

    If you read along here you know that I’m not one to recommend a lot of online resources that cost money. Let’s face it, with the IT budget I’m given at work, and the salary I make from that job, I need all the free resources I can get! But you owe it to yourself…

    Linked: Workers Left Behind By the “Great Resignation”

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This raises some interesting questions about wealth distribution among many other things. What does happen in service jobs, to the people left behind without other options?

    From reading these stories, it’s clear that there is not always an appreciation for people who don’t leave, just an expectation that they will be taking advantage of more by employers, and treated worse by customers.

    This makes me consider a couple of things:
