‘Every year our finance dept would send an email out to all employees (~500 at the time) reminding them of the annual review and stating the bonus criteria etc. One year our not-so-technically-minded director reply all’d and attached the results of the reviews listing everybody’s pay and bonus along with notes detailing the why and why not of each employee.
‘Cue him announcing on the tannoy phone system that everybody was to step away from their computers with immediate effect until he had personally been round to every pc and deleted it from the inbox and bin.’

‘Seen a couple…
‘A few years ago one colleague who sent out an email to all staff (rather than the “all Manchester”) distribution list – so about 10000 people rather than 400. He had read receipts too so that made me laugh.
‘Another colleague recently sent out a flame to his “local” distribution about what an arsehole his boss was, but sent it to all globally (50000+ employees).’

‘Oh I have an excellent one. This happened 20yrs ago give or take. Working in a publishing/events company in the UK.
Someone sent an email to the entire organisation (around 800 ppl perhaps, can’t remember) trying to sell tickets to see Madonna that night.‘A guy accidentally replied all: “Thanks but I’d rather go felching”.
‘Worst part was there were loads of ppl in the office (think: sweet middle-aged ladies) who didn’t know what it meant and kept asking those of us who did, before looking utterly horrified upon being enlightened.
‘Absolute SCENES.’
