Gather evidence.

I assume that they have opened a formal investigation and are now going to the office to collect/perloin evidence before it's destroyed.

Most FAANG companies have training specifically for this. I assume X doesn't anymore, because they are cool and edgy, and staff training is for the woke.

If that training involves destroying evidence or withholding evidence from the prosecution, you are going to jail if you follow it.

What a strange assumption. The training is "summon the lawyers immediately", "ensure they're accompanied at all times while on company premises", etc.

That can start with self deleting messages if you are under court order, and has happens before:

“Google intended to subvert the discovery process, and that Chat evidence was ‘lost with the intent to prevent its use in litigation’ and ‘with the intent to deprive another party of the information’s use in the litigation.’”

VW is another case where similar things happens:

The thing is: Companies don’t got to jail, employees do.

Prosecution must present a valid search warrant for *specific* information. They don't get a carte blanche, so uber way is correct. lock computers and lets the courts to decide.

The training is very much the opposite.

mine had a scene where some bro tried to organise the resistance. A voice over told us that he was arrested for blocking a legal investigation and was liable for being fired due to reputational damage.

X's training might be like you described, but everywhere else that is vaguely beholden to law and order would be opposite.
