What’s the safest way to save some work documents?

I have an acquaintance that’s leaving their job and asked me how to safely keep a copy of some of the documents they handle at work, obviously without their bosses knowing. For anyone worried, it’s not so much about keeping secret information or anything like that. Mostly because those documents are good templates for stuff that they may need to work on their new job. Computer is a work-issued PC that has USB ports disabled and uses corporate-level google suite. Naturally the safest way would be taking photos, but I’m just wondering if there is something that will involve less work without leaving a trail that may land them in trouble.

Advise/Questions

I have a BA in psychology, I graduated from an accredited school back in 2013. For context, I went straight from high school into college. In high school I thought I wanted to be a counselor. In my junior year of college, I realized that wasn’t for me. In 2015, I applied for a MSW program (Masters in Social Work) and got accepted into the program. I started the program, everything was going well. I was working full time and going to school on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings/ afternoon. I was enjoying my classes. In 2017, I had a major family crisis (3 people in my family on my mom’s side passed away in a house fire). I had to leave grad school, because I needed to be there for my family, and I thought that was more important at the time. It was a difficult. I have not…

Employers: my advice is to test out the CRM software before torturing your admins with it.

The salespeople won’t always be able to tell you if your team will find the product they are selling to be efficient.

Often digital transformation changes the operations of a team. People who don’t have experience or insight on that shouldn’t be in charge of those decisions.

This could involve a remote virtual assistant, remote marketers, an editor, and a project manager.

So I'm a union laborer I do asphalt so I depend on overtime and hours since I'm on unemployment for 3 to 4 months out of the year.

Today we were asked to contribute money to a gift for the CEO

Today my manager reached out to the entire team (10 people) asking to contribute money to a gift card for our CEO. The gift card was for one of his “favorite” restaurants which is a steakhouse in the city, which is quite spendy, and which the majority of the staff can not afford to eat at. Either we can send $20 to my manager (he’s the 2nd most senior person at the company) or our name will not be included on the card that goes with the gift. I was honestly shocked that this was asked of us. Last year none of us recieved a Christmas bonus, and we’re given 2 pieces of company merch and an AirTag as a company gift. This gift was not even picked out for us by the CEO. This year I am on the Christmas planning committee and we were asked to pick out…
