I had the exact same reaction. Like who cares about an unreleased version of a document. if this was a version they released than yeah ok. But it's not, so why do we care at all? Do people live in a fantasy land where you suppose employees wouldn't think about collecting this kind of info. It probably went through a review and was thrown out. I can't wait for them to leak the drafts of these policies in the future, can you imagine all the spelling errors!!
