Eight of eight. Mariam has left properly. The instinct now is to delete them. Don't. Gulf law requires you to keep employment records. And if a claim is filed in two years, they are your evidence. So there is no delete button. There is archive. Hidden from the directory. Records kept in full. And restorable. Nothing here is destroyed. Archive. And the act of archiving is itself recorded. Which is the whole of the next act.
