Personal Email sent to whole department by mistake

[MuppetsGalore]

I've ducked up and worried about potential outcomes of this faux pas

An was sent to staff with platitudes about Caroline flaks suicide which I found infuriating, I've also been really annoyed by comments on social media about suicide ect

I thought I'd hit forward on the email but got reply and got distracted by other work and used it for writing notes and during my shift also wrote a bit of a rant for my diary

Anyhoo fast forward to the end of the night I'm knackered and in a rush to head home i just hit send on a couple of the emails i had open only to realise i sent my ramblings onto the whole department 🤦‍♀️

Worst case scenario i get fired for being a trouble maker best case scenario they all have a good laugh at me 🤦‍♀️

Aibu to be mortified by this?

I would be concerned about you because of using the work email to share your ramblings. I applaud people who plan to send thoughtful challenging waves around issues that management have ignored but as an error it just looks like you are not coping with personal problems and need support.

Quite rightly being torn to shreds on Reddit as the pre-planned 'look at me being all caring' social media clickbait that it is.

All it's missing is asking your 'friends' to repost because '97% of [xxxx platform] users won't'.

@DowntownAbby it’s on Reddit too?

So was that everything you wrote because you described it as a rant and a diary entry, and what you have posted here is neither of those?

If you're not back till next week, everyone will have forgotten about it. Except your boss because it shows poor judgement and raises issues about how you're using your time at work.

It seems fairly mild to me. It could have been so much worse, e.g. describing your boss as an idiot, or mentioning that you fancy your work colleague.

Why you didn't just do this later on from home is anyone's guess.
Do what you're paid to do and what you clock in to do. Save the armchair interpretations of a sad, sad event for home and friends.

It’s a bit cringe but on the bright side the Range might snap it up for one of their inspirational quote pictures. Otherwise, just style it out. This sort of stuff is a pain in the ass to get but it’s not the end of the world. At least you weren’t caught shagging your boss in public.

I've been a professional copywriter and editor for over twenty years. The main thing I've learned is that most readers aren't very discerning, a lot of absolute shit gets published, and success is far more to do with an author's marketability than anything inherent in their writing.

I know, this gives me hope and despair at the same time!

"Well, if that tripe is getting published, surely mine is better than that!

"FFS, why do they get published and I get nowhere?"

And worst...

"Oh god, maybe I'm actually worse even than the worst writer I've seen published."

I don't really care that I've been 'lied to' by this scenario - if that is the case. OP may well have some MH difficulties, and thought this was a bold way to express them. It cost me nothing to click on the thread to reply and I'd be mortified if I'd thought this was a good idea and it backfired.

Oh come on, this didn't happen!

Say you were writing a column for the staff newsletter

I would have to click on forward and then either type in the all Organization group email name or search it out of the address book and then click on that
There is no way I could do that by accident

@JamesNesbittsBrows

Do you think it calls for a Venn diagram to apply some science to your theory?

I'll take Things That Never Happened for 50 please, Ted.

I’m slightly the majority opinion on here is that OP sent the email deliberately/that she was out of order/some saying it didn’t happen and so on.

Yet the pole results show that the majority (80%) think that the OP wasn’t unreasonable. Why is that?

Is it because people voted on the pole and then typed out their positive responses into emails and “accidentally” forwarded them to their office instead? [grin}

I’m cringing.

Not at the email nonsense but for this post.

@AlternativePerspective

Read the final line of the OP.

"AIBU to be mortified by this"

Everyone(ish) is saying YANBU to that.

Yet the pole results show that the majority (80%) think that the OPwasn’tunreasonable. Why is that?
I can't even see the voting on this thread, never mind vote. Mumsnet IT skills might explain it.

Or maybe you haven't enabled it in your preferences. I haven't.

This has got totally cringe, it has to be said, the suggestions that the op either sent it on purpose and then wanted to show off, or wrote it and then creates a pretext so she could post it on mumsnet is as cringe as it gets.

I also don't understand the dear diary element of this, I'm not really sure who does that, but all in there is nothing positive here, simply the level of cringe.

Made all the more cringe by someone saying the op is their hero for said cringe fest.

It used to be there. When mumsnet started spamming my inbox with every new AIBU vote, it took a while but I found the option and turned it off. I could still AIBU voting at that point. Then a thread turned the mumsnet attention to why they should stop spamming people who've politely asked them in preferences not to. A little while after that any voting disappeared. I'm not going to turn it on if it means they spam my email again and I've no idea why else it would be hiding. Is there an option to vote but not get a string of spam emails as a result?

Oh poor @MuppetsGalore I don't think this has gone the way you wanted.

I'm sure we've all posted stuff we've regretted somewhere in the internet void!

Voting stopped being visible for me when I turned it off. Simple as that.

You've not said anything dubious which will land you in hot water, but your colleagues may think you are a little overly intense

Dear diary...... today I pretended

It’s pretty eyerolly, to be honest (maybe I just worked with a lot of cynical bastards in my last job?). But it could be worse. We had a reply-all unflushable poos email chain once... it was baaaaad. Especially as I have a sneaky feeling it went not only to office staff but to everyone, Trustees included 💩
