Interesting Wesley........I actually did have a company request complete files from both high school and college, both transcripts and any other "information still on file." This was a very conservative and somewhat staid Fortune 500. I had been hired, but this information was mandatory as a condition of employment which I found odd but not out of character for this company. I think it was more a case of checking to see if I had lied or something.

But I do agree, that "Permanent Record" thing was a huge club that school officials drug out all the time. Seems to still be popular. Several of the teachers at a school where I taught used it regularly.
