Ah yes, there's nothing like working for a large company, when by mistake somebody sends out an email to a large group, and then you have to read the steady parade of, "Why am I getting this email" that was a REPLY ALL, and then the follow-up "Please don't REPLY ALL" that was a REPLY ALL.
:bang:
-
I enjoy when that happens. Or when someone replies with something kind of stupid thinking they replied to just the one person.
-
Oh, its funny . . . but then sad.
Albeit, you do discover groups you never knew existed.
-
Do a reply all with a link to this thread.
-

I also enjoy it. I never inform the person who sent the email of the mistake, though, because I hope the mail keeps coming.
-
I like when someone is having a snippy/gossipy type conversation about their coworkers that actually evolves into a legitimate question about something at work and then they forward that question to the group or their boss or something and forget to remove all the catty things further down the chain.

You have to feel bad for the person who participated in the snippy conversation but wasn't the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) who forwarded the conversation to the boss in that scenario.

yeah, that's great too

Oops, now some people are getting really mad. :lol:

Dax is a pussy unless I see 30+ guests reading this thread because he just sent everyone in the e-mail a link.

We have this thread about once a year going back to ksufans days fwiw.

Had a pretty infamous one here in our office laced with swears and discussing some pretty serious drinking that occurred after a softball game. The sender tried to recall it, and when the "recall" email went out someone replied to that with "too late"

Yeah, can learn a lot about coworkers by scrolling down in email chains.

before a secretary resigned, she sent out an email to everybody detailing how awful/racist her boss was, plus all the gossip she heard from everyone in the 2+ years she was there. The gossip ranged from "so and so is having an affair with a parent" to "this guy once killed a person."
The admin was told to delete the email from everyone's inbox if possible. it wasn't.

I bet she was Will's dad.

No way, no screenshots or content.
But another 14 "reply alls" just hit in the last 3 minutes, that has generated 1000's of additional emails.

no, but she was a nazi.
HUR HUR HUR.

Here comes another string of "I don't think I am supposed to get this" on Reply All . . . generating 1000's more emails.
Followed by at least 5 more "Quite Replying all" that again, generated 1000's of additional emails.
Oops, 2 more, "why did I get this message" done on Reply All.

Dax, pm me everyone's e-mail c&p'd or something so I can send everyone something from goEMAW.

apparently it was possible normally, but we didn't have something turned on or installed. i dunno, wasn't my thing.

Would have been a pain in the ass, which is why I would say "not possible" if asked of me.

yeah. wouldn't have mattered anyway. people had already forwarded to other accounts/moved to their archive anyway. (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fsmiley-fc%2Fwhistling.gif&hash=22e78970a8a729b81ce55b7d4fa1400cc34490f8)

Not really. It's pretty dumb to use work email for that kind of thing. That's what Skype or whatever is for. Even then, it's not smart. Work email should pretty much only be used for things you officially want on the record.
We also had a secretary do the "I quit" email thing. She addressed the head of our HR in the subject line (i.e. "Bill, review this and let me now if you think it's professional") then emailed everyone detailing this huge fight between her and two of her superiors. Even funnier than the details in the actual email was that a random dude also named Bill didn't realize it was sent to everyone and thought she was specifically asking him, so he "replied all" again with an email starting off super timid and explaining that he wasn't really sure why she was asking him but then evolving into how here's what he thought about the "possibly sexist and definitely stupid" reaction of her boss (who was also his boss). Pretty great day at the office all in all.

All our office gossip is done through GChat with super secret code words. For instance...
"I think fatass midget Ray Liotta just sharted"

I keep all the accidental reply all emails and subsequent requests to be removed from the distribution reply alls in a special email folder. I go back every now and then and re-read to laugh at them and see who answers every time.

Yeah, I don't ever send personal emails to coworkers for that reason, but it takes a special kind of stupid to go ahead and forward an entire personal conversation to another email for another person.

I'll have to show you wednesday night's facebook chat when Saul was trying to remotely fix my cd drive while still a little pak'd.

I imagine this behavior is rampant amongst the goEMAW staff.

Oh man. We just closed the refi on the house. The notary they sent out had to use our laptop to access some of the docs that would be e-signed/duped.
Umm. She didn't log out after she left. And holy rough ridin' crap. If there a super-dramatic version of telenovelas that featured really ugly trailer folk with white trash problems, I'd be sitting on a million-dollar script.

This sounds like John Deere, servers went to a standstill one day because someone sent the whole company an email and the whole company kept replying all. :nono:

How many were "just use reply and not reply-all" or "i dont think you meant for this to go to everyone"
-
We had one where someone was announcing a new hire. And the new hire replied all thinking he was replying to just his boss and was telling him "hey you forgot to mention my experience in so and so and why I'd be good at this and that."
-
We get one of those at least once a month.
-
Perfect timing.
A congratulatory promotion email sent out to a large group, no less than 30 people did a "reply all" saying "congrats".
So, 1 congratulatory email sent to approx. 250 people generated 7,500 (or so) more emails.
-
I'm really surprised this doesn't happen where I work. More disappointed than surprised.
-
We get emails about some growth in a part of our company or new acquisition. Then the executives send out the occasional follow up about how this is a good thing and how excited we should all be. The last step is our lowest tiered manager, completely unrelated to any of it, always does a "reply all" about how excited she is. She just wants to get an email exchange with the execs and its so rough ridin' annoying.

You should reply all "LOL" the next time she does that.

1. Sounds like John Deere's email server is really shitty amirite Saul? I picture that thing sitting near some hay bails in a barn.
2. They probably overloaded that thing with this forward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyMv4kkSCvk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyMv4kkSCvk)

Had a company wide last month. 6000ish in our address book.
"Hey this isn't work related. What's your favorite music? I love metal."
I wonder if that warehouse dude is still employed. There we're several replies to all as well. Gotta love it.
-
I kept track of the ratio for a while. It was very predictably 10% of the total addressees who would reply to all with a don't reply to all message.

I'm going to experiment tomorrow from a coworkers computer and see if this ratio holds true. About 150 people in the office.

Occasionally we will get those huge email chains, and a friend reply to just a few of us with something snarky, and I enjoy replying back to them "Hey, did you mean to reply all with that message?!?!"
Really freaks them out.
It's even better when you paste in the entire email group down below in the email chain so it really looks like they did reply to all on accident.

UPDATE
This whole fiasco rolled over to Monday morning with another fantastic stream of "Unsubscribe" emails.
IT deleted all of the emails that contained the original title so I am unable to get you guys a final tally of emails, but there were at least 300 emails sent out in reply all fashion about this.
There were over 6 MILLION emails sent out between Friday and Monday.
People are so awesome. :lol:

Guy at my company a few years ago hit a reply all on an email from the CEO wrote the most brown nosing email the CEO asking him what his favorite soccer team was and if the CEO was interested in some SKC tix and whatnot. Another guy at work now brings in doughnuts on the anniversary of said email every year just because it was that awesome. It's probably the best email at my work/aftermath ever. Though it did end up working out for Mr. Brown nose in the long run. He's now a pretty decent PM level job and not doing too bad, so I guess good for him.

I really want to be like OMG everyone you work with is an idiot and incredibly stupid, I'm so glad I don't work there anymore...
But had a same sort of thing happen last week. A program that everyone in the company uses went down, IT sends out an email to every single person that has access to that program saying "We are aware that issues are happening and working to fix it blah blah blah"......I look over at my co-worker and see him typing out "It is not working here in Kansas City" Give him the death stare and explain how this will play out in exact detail. I convince him not to press send then about 2 minutes later the avalanche hits.
"Its not working here in Denver", "Its not working in seattle either" "Not working here" "Stop hitting reply all" "Please remove me from this email" ETC ETC ETC.
