Have you ever fired off an e-mail and the moment you clicked 'Send' you panicked and immediately checked to make sure you did not hit 'Reply All'?
Whether that panic was because the e-mail contained private business matters or because you were sending something personal - and potentially embarrassing - on company time and visions of not only scandal and derision, but also of job less, danced in you head, in this day and age of technology, probably everyone has felt that fear at least once.
According to Bloomberg Business, at a PricewaterhouseCoopers branch, new female employees were rated by their looks in an ongoing e-mail exchange. One of the knuckle draggers, though, accidentally sent the ratings system to the wrong person.
Two secretaries at a law firm found themselves in a heated e-mail exchange - about the location of a ham sandwich believe it or not - that escalated into name calling, comments about the intellectual proclivities of the one who was a blonde, disagreeable remarks about one of the ladies' body type and even a snide remark about how man guys one of the women had in her life at the moment. The problem? This nasty back-and-forth e-mail argument was accidentally cc'd to their coworkers.
Also, a Pentagon military employee e-mailed 64 pages of sensitive information to a list of people who were cleared to receive the info - and also sent it to a 15-year-old girl. The girl replied with a 'Please stop these e-mails message.' The employee blamed the Internet server.
Do you have any good stories that you have, uh hum, hear about? Let me know.
