Wow . . way to go, you f***ing dumbass . .

Hey, let's come in on Monday morning and get fired! Sounds like a plan!

I decided to hit "reply" instead of "forward" on one of my work e-mails this morning and sent a nice, bitchy e-mail to one of our clients (which I meant to forward to my friend). I recalled it, but I'm waiting to see if it works or not. Anyone in the Atlanta area hiring a good-hearted soul who made a mistake that she will NOT repeat (ever, ever again)?

How badly have YOU screwed up, and did you get fired for it?

yikes!
lets just hope it's all okay!

but once i worked at a winery and i accidently opend a valve on a tank which released 500 litres of wine all over the place. i didn't get fired but let's say it was taken off my paycheque....

[yoink 321]

Sorry! but maybe it's not so bad - the client may find it funny!

I'd send them another e-mail immediately apologising profusely and explaining your complete lack of IT skills (unless you work in IT) and promise to take a course to differentiate between reply and forward!



That's the best I got...

You have to screw up pretty badly (over here anyway) to really get fired... Isn't there a warning procedure there? Verbal, written and then booted?

In such circumstances, I recommend lying. "I left my computer turned on while I was at a meeting. I think someone was playing a joke. I don't even think lip-waxing is healthy, why would I say that?"

[kelel01 1]

Actually yes. Although one of my producers will probably want me fired right away. He's always hated me because he's a moron, and he knows I know it. That was kind of the gist of the e-mail, but not so harsh.

[kelel01 1]

Well, the problem is I would say this to the producer's face, but not to the client ABOUT the producer. He knows I can't stand him.

OUCH!!! Does that count as an 'oops', or go all the way up to an "oh shit' ?

I was IMing two buds and was telling one what a pussy the other one was and accidently sent it to the one I was talking about. I just played it off as a joke. A little differant w/ business tho. Good luck. Tell us what happens

I hold it true, whate'er befall;

'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

[kelel01 1]

I think it counts as an "oh shit". We'll see what happens. If I get fired, I'll definitely post from home and let you guys know.

Keep my fingers crossed for ya, for all the good that does....

If you know the client, I would call them and apologize profusely. If you dont know them, I would send an apology to the same email.
Unless theyre a complete ass.. they'll understand that it was a mistake.
You cant take back the information you gave them though. You can just hope that the client wont rat you out.

Eh, you guys are just old (or mature). Don't try to tell me to be mature. It'll get you nowhere.

Good luck! I have a nasty habit of being quite blunt and humorous and get myself in trouble occasionally at work.

Just say "Thank You" when you are confronted. It works in the TV ad

I don't really know them, but I was advised against contacting her until I know if she read it or not. My co-workers said that if it was recalled and she didn't read it, she would seriously wonder what I was calling to apologize for.

[kelel01 1]

That's what my semi-boss said. (I already told ehr because she's cool.) LMAO.

Yeah, but if you practiced what he said in the first place, you wouldn't be in this mess.

Guess that makes me old and mature too.

True, but advice that comes after the fact doesn't help in this particular situation. It's a guilt trip.

Who you calling old or mature Missy! I am still my shoe size damnit!

It just saves you a lot of unneeded excess drama in life. Only say what you truely believe in....shit does get around. Sometimes it may be askewed...but at least if you ment what you said you can correct them..haha..."no i didnt say you were a jerknut...i said you were a jackass!"
