📧 Email Governance Gone Wrong: What Skadden’s Misstep Teaches IT Leaders

In an attempt to restrict firmwide communication, Skadden disabled internal email distribution lists—only to accidentally trigger a mass email that exposed the restriction effort itself.

From an IT operations perspective, this incident underscores critical lessons:

🔐 Restricting communication tools requires strong governance AND transparent policy
⚙️ Tech enforcement without cultural alignment leads to workarounds and reputational damage
🛠️ Distribution list controls should include:
・Proper change management
・Internal communications planning
・Monitoring and rollback protocols
📣 Staff need clear guidance, not silent shutdowns

In the age of hybrid work and high-stakes messaging, email is infrastructure. Treat it like it matters.

After suffering from bad automation tooling several times I have come to the conclusion that every automation that uses Shell commands inside its code is just over engineered glue code.

Use the tool as intended and use the apis.

Everything else results in an testable and unmaintainable automation

This is a beautiful example of what happens when bad proxy metrics are used. Uptime is bad. Load average is bad. Page load times are better. Simulated browser running remotely is better. #IT #ITOperations #Monitoring #Metrics
