Repeat after me..."To the best of my recollection." Begin and end every answer to every question with that....I learned that from Trump's lawyers.
Actually the only thing I learned from my one and only deposition is only answer the question. Do not add anything, don't discuss anything, just answer the question as simply as possible, preferably with a yes or no.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

W2 employee. Corporate attorney emailed and asked what was going on. I explained and she said print all correspondence and docs, scan into a file, and send to plaintiff's attorney. I spent a couple hours doing it and got bored. Probably had another 12-14 hours. My employer received the subpoena, not me personally but it involved someone I had a relationship so it landed on my desk so I guess I'm the PMK as mentioned above.
Indeed. And if they want to respond to the subpoena they were named in (not me), they can spend the time with IT to filter my emails, print and scan them.
Agreed. That is our IT departments job and they are mediocre.
See above mediocrity in this department.
I left my attorney and the plaintiff's attorney a message at the same time to try both approaches. Whoever called back first won and it was the plaintiff's. Turns out, they didn't really know what they were asking for so I jedi mind tricked them into asking for the bare minimum and they said that was cool. A few emailed pdf's later and they are satisfied for now.
1. State. Western zone. I think some people on here probably know about the suit or at least the situation.
2. Not sure. Looked like just a records request and attorney said there was slim to no chance it would be anything more than that.
3. Hopefully just records.
4. Yes.
5. Not sure. Employer received and it was emailed to me.

Probably so. My attorney wasn't interested in directing me. She didn't even ask to review before sending my response and told me to send it directly to the plaintiff's attorney. She told me to send what I sent plus about another 400 docs. I called the plaintiff's attorney and asked what he was really looking for as the term he used in his subpoena isn't a term we use in our industry. He told me what he wanted so I sent it. Look, I called the corp attorney first and asked what I should be doing. She then told me to spend what would probably amount to 2-3 work days going through emails and determine what to scan over to the plaintiff. I'm not paid to talk to attorneys in this situation but she gave me the go ahead to correspond directly or so it seems (told me to send direct without her review). Seemed dicey. Who knows, maybe I'll be called to give deposition and testimony, maybe not. But the lady our company employs doesn't want to review, I'm not going to do all the work if I don't have to.

OK, to be clear; 1. you were not subpoenaed....your employer was. 2. Your job is to do what your employer asks you to do, not what you think the subpoena requires. 3. Your atty says send them everything w/o, apparently, any review or screening on his or her part...also brilliant.
Is this your company's lawyer?

Subpoenaed. Legal advice por favor?
Not a lawyer, but curious what the lawyers think?
What’s the worse that happens if you just blow it off? A court sanction in another state?
I subpoenaed named defendants, and even local businesses that were western union agents in my lawsuit. and by not showing up they just sanctioned them 1000 bucks and I won the motions.

Yeah, I guess my employer was subpoenaed-it's their name on it. I've never been. It was emailed to me by our legal department and I was asked to put together the info and forward. I made an assumption that it was me being subpoenaed because why would they have me do their job. Once again, something new to me. My mistake for calling the plaintiff's attorney but it was really a shit ton of correspondence that my attorney asked me to dig through plus there are what seemed a lot of unrelated work to the case and when I was told "everything", it seemed weird.
On point 2, I couldn't even think of what I thought the subpoena required because it is a term that we don't use. I just wanted to know what he actually wanted. He told me. It was a very simple question and it made sense after talking. Remember, I ride the short bus, simple questions, simple answers. I was prepared to say I'd have to consult with our corp attorney if he asked me anything other just responding with the info he is looking for..
Nothing against you law dogs but I try to avoid speaking with attorneys unless they're friends and we're hanging out for fun.
In this situation, I just wanted a simple answer. If he asked for more than he did, I'd have called IT and the corp attorney and tell them it looked like it was time for them to get to work.
Actually, yes. I think so. I fucked up by calling the plaintiff's attorney. My bad.

Never been subpoenaed, but have gone through a couple of freedom of info requests. Same deal, very broad and vague requests for emails and other documents. Spent days sorting through the search terms, then the time to export and clip into a pdf. In no single instance did they get what they were looking for, which I can only suspect was some sort of smoking gun. It’s like they think we regularly share libellous/slanderous material on individuals for shits and giggles, or outright lie and commit fraud in large complex contracts. But the attorneys make bank, so I guess all is right in the world.

Great reminder to destroy records after the required retention period expires.
Can't subpoena things that don't exist.

C - was the communication from your company's corporate lawyer in writing? (the one that told you to assemble docs and forward them straight to the lawyer who served the subpoena)
Keep that document. Print out the email, whatever it was. It's your CYA.
There is no way I would ever tell an employee to just gather up stuff and send it over. That has to get screened by counsel first.
And don't communicate directly with opposing counsel any more. Even though your in-house Corp counsel told you to, don't do it. Send whatever you gather to in house and let them deal with it.

Yes, email from my attorney saying put everything together and send it. Lesson learned here.

Print that out and keep it at home.
But still, don't send anything directly to the lawyer who subpoenaed the company. Send all that to your in-house corp counsel. Let them edit/ filter. If they just forward along 100% of what you pulled together, and you included something you shouldn't have, it's the lawyer's ass on the line. Not your responsibility.

With it being in another state what happens if you ignore the subpoena?

Here is my advice since I like to spend time with courts and Lawyers
Act stupid. Not Billy bob dumb but slightly confused. Works like a charm.
Follow everything everyone says. Use your best listening skills and memorization. Focus. When the lawyer fucks w you zing them back w something they said a few minutes ago. Law is all about finding inconsistencies.
Back to being stupid. I used to be an actor. Acting is gold in a court room. Acting is all about using motivation and feelings from past experience. I count ceiling tiles switches and electric outlets to help create the illusion of confusion and lack of memory. Sometimes I stare at lawyers clothing and look for patterns. They wonder why you are lookin at them but not making eye contact. It makes them uneasy.
Almost had a judge catch onto what I was doing once.
Never lie. If you need to lie go back to confusion. Confusion can create denial which is truthful lieing.
