Do things in recycle bin not get synced to the cloud/backed up?(edit: nope seems everything from breaking migration tool, ballooning profiles and overzealous compliance can be mitigated elsewhere). Hence doing so in the roll out? No idea otherwise or why they wouldn’t know. Sometimes we just get told to do things a certain way. Not IT anymore but currently work with engineers who try shortcutting triage queues (probably in an attempt to save everyone time, not maliciously) and we have to undo their assignment and triage it as laid out. Specifically we were told “people will try to tell you who to send internal requests to, ignore them”. Largely for accountability so tickets/requests don’t get dropped or breach SLA and also because it can break workflows. Locking out recycle bins without being able to provide a good reason is pretty wild though lmao.
More concerningly is this going to trial in the US’ current governmental “degraded” (to put it lightly) condition. NFPs get a bunch of concessions and benefits to being such. It’s not unheard of for NFPs to have for profits subsidiaries but I feel like letting them bootstrap into FP, often on the taxpayers/states dime should be, legally speaking, a no no.
