Disposing of Sensitive Documents
Marcus: All right, let’s get started. These documents won’t Sort themselves.
Rebecca: I really don’t think sorting through documents is the best use of my time. Can’t the company find an Intern to do this?
Marcus: We have Confidential information in these files and unless we want a Security breach, only people who are Authorized to see it are allowed to do this job.
Rebecca: Lucky us.
Marcus: Okay, we need To purge these files of Outdated material. Let’s start by sorting them into two piles for either Retention or Destruction.
Rebecca: And then what?
Marcus: Then we have to Further sort the destruction pile, either for disposal in the Recycling bin or to be Shredded.
Rebecca: And who are the lucky people who get to do the shredding?
Marcus: We get that Honor, too.
Rebecca: You’re kidding! I’m all for Safeguarding confidential information, but couldn’t we just burn it all in a giant Bonfire?
Marcus: And who do you think would be responsible for doing that, and for Extinguishing the Wildfire we start?
