IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

You have to stop for just a secondand ask who really fucked up, but I'm inclined to say it was the big cheese.
It's not like delete is some obscure phrase.
On the other hand, they immediately deleted the mailboxes, having only backed up the non-deleted messages. Maybe they should have waited a few days.

You could argue that the deleted items folder is a mailbox, because it basically is, so they implied they'd be backing up the deleted stuff too.But I'm more inclined to say the boss was at fault, seeing as there was likely an archived items folder too.

It's pretty common to use "deleted items" as just another folder.Anyone migrating an enterprise ought to know that. It's ITs job to protect users from themselves also, as far as technology is concerned.
Doesn't stop the Boss being an idiot, but I'd expect the IT staff responsible to be given a good talking to also. Certainly a black mark on the record if they couldn't get all the email back.
