I never send an email with words I wouldn’t want everyone to see

I simply don’t get more personal than an attaboy on work email because I am deathly afraid of getting in the habit of shite mailing

My company routinely sends out notices from HR whenever someone gets a title change.
shite like "Suzy Jonesfrom Accounting has been promoted to Clerk 2 and will be handling all expense travel reports!"
People in completely unrelated departments who have never met Suzy Reply All with "Way to go Suzy!!!!!" and "Congrats!!!!!" Always with way too many exclamation points.
They do it so the Boss sees them being a "team player" because our management is sold on that shite. I want to strangle every one of those fricks.

And the reply is just as hilarious. "Maron" instead of "moron".

Precisely, if I’m gonna talk shite I’m just going to text it. I know that all of our emails can be read

Slack is a shite show
I was at a Fortune 500 company’s HQ yesterday and sitting next to a gen z kid and he was shite talking about coworkers and making inappropriate jokes on slack the entire meeting. VP was in there and I was thinking “holy hell.” Incredibly unprofessional.
Regarding “reply all” one of my coworkers called Frank Anderson (a customer) a F’ing idiot in an email intended to go Frank Anders (from our company.)
Lost them as a customer, but dude kept his job. Didn’t hurt that he was the boss’ son and Frank Anderson was indeed a F’ing idiot.

Some dumbass replied all “I flagged it and deleted it.” That led to about 30 “me too” reply all emails.
I work for a company with over a million employees globally; someone with corporate access about a year ago sent out a mass email to every employee…
Then the “reply all” armageddon began. I awoke to thousands upon thousands of emails in my inbox. Things got so bad that they had to shut down the system for a while and so some massive purge before starting it back up almost a day later.

I had an employee put a guys name in the CC line to figure out how to spell his name so he could talk shite about him, then forgot to delete it and sent.
I did that and accidentally copied a female countstomer.

My wife’s residency program would get a daily, program-wide email with announcement for what the day’s noontime conference was about, and where it was.
At some point, the entire program’s passtime became a reply-all chain on the daily email. It would usually last for hours. This was in her last few months on the way out. So, someone who had a little bit of say so in the program decided to stick their neck out and write a program-wide email saying that it was no longer allowed, considered unprofessional, etc.
Some fricking Chad replied all with a, “So what do you guys think of the new Reply All policy?” Which turned into the busiest, longest, and funniest reply-all thread of the year.

The best one I have is when the owner of the company accidentally printed nude pics and his dick pics onto the main community Bluetooth printer that everyone in the office uses.
Now that was a hell of a day at the office!

I was in one of those, but it was only hundreds of replies. I was in tears reading them because 99% were like:
“God dammit! Stop hitting reply all you damned idiots.”
“You’re doing it too!”

Well, some world class idiot replied all with this:
I dunno, if he had "frick you seniority" judging he's asking someone else to do it. Perhaps a backhanded way to tell you stupid fricks not to reply all.
Then again the last time I've seen something like this was ages ago in the Army when a full bird Colonel said something along the lines of fricking off with the reply all.

I hate the reply all option

Who drops the F bomb in a company email like that? Lol
This. Always be professional and screw ups like this are no big deal.
“Robert, please tell everyone not to reply all” would not land you in hot water

When my wife was in grad school, an admin secretary somehow not only replied all, but CC’d the entire school. Every student, professor, admin, secretary, maintenance man, and janitor.
She forwarded a chain email sent from a friend, titled Jamaican Torture. It was some baywaytch looking babe getting railed by a Jamaican tripod.
Did not lose her job btw
ETA: emailed the entire grad school, just to clarify. It didn’t go out to the entire university. Man that would’ve been fantastic

must have been a senior resident. No fricks to give. Posted on 1/25/23 at 12:30 am to Funky Tide 8
About 12 years ago, I was on a coed kickball team. Most of the girls on the team were attractive (and married to my friends), but there was one stereotypical annoying, loud, big girl/TUFF (X). She happened to be the sister of another team member I was "talking to" at the time (Y).
Anyway, the "team captain" sent out a group email about a game reschedule or something, and I replied back to a few friends with some snarky comment about X, taking care to remove any email addresses I didn't want to see it, including Y.
My buddy emailed me back a few minutes later like, "Holy shite, I can't believe you forgot to delete X's email address! Y is gonna kill you."
I freaked out and looked back through the chain and, sure enough, there was X's email address. After spending a few minutes thinking my position in this friend group was over forever (even though all the guys and most of the girls agreed with me about X), I figured out my buddy had gone into the chain and typed her email address back into my message (and made it look really authentic), but she was not actually on it.
