I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

I’ve heard that you can copy and paste the text of a word document into an email in your personal account like Gmail, save it as a draft without sending, and then open it on your personal computer and have a saved copy there. Not sure if that’ll work but it’s something I have heard. Not sure what firms could or would do to prevent that.
Some firms prevent access to personal email on the firm computer. I’ve printed things in the past but it’s a pain to get them back into an editable template
Genuinely curious how people do this. gmail is blocked on my comp as is Dropbox

You may be able to upload documents to Google Drive. Perhaps do this on a personal computer, like when working from home.

I was thinking of the scenario where you log on to Citrix through your personal computer.
I think you could also do this on a firm-provided computer when working on your personal WiFi at home. But please do some investigation of this approach to check when it’s detectable.
Best solution is to print the documents over time before giving notice, so it’s not flagged as unusual behavior. It’s helpful to have print-outs of all your writing samples.
Or just call it a wash and use the templates at the new workplace.
Print the docs and take home copies. Do it slowly, don’t print like 1000 pages at a time.

If it’s something you produced at the firm, it should be something filed or public, so not sure why this is an issue

He’s asking about forms that are not public. For instance, I’ve taken contract templates and the like when lateraling. These are definitely not public but very useful to keep after leaving a firm, but obviously the firm absolutely does not want those things misappropriated.

In 15 years I've never worked anywhere that flagged me for sending myself stuff.
I'll add, though, I always redacted anything I send myself in an abundance of caution.
Print it out and scan it with an AI scanner
Or just put it in a folder to take home with you
