My email blunder :
It was before the recession hit the market. I was just out of 6 months long Infy training. Those days it was common practice/trend with people leaving the company to send a 'hate' mail to either to project/team/acquaintance or to organization leader/biggies. And one such mail ended up in my mailbox - forwarded by many. It's original recipient were all those big names everyone hear connected to Infy. For us it was hilarious. A awesome forward-able material. So did I. To two of my friends in IBM and Satyam(erstwhile).
But before hitting send in Outlook, I wanted to see the employee id of one of the big bosses*. For that easier way was putting the email id in cc field -> ctrl + k -> double click to view his details.
And before hitting send I forgot to delete his email from the cc field....and I was completely unaware of it.
After 5 mins I got a mail "<
mathrisk> .. what is this?" - CCed to my friends, my original recipients.
And this was the time I literally saw stars in front of eyes. Air bursting out of my ears. damn....OMG what have I done.
The most I could do was sent a apology mail - and after the apology got a small lesson (more like that
sorry shaktiman thing)....and since recession was still 5/6 months away, I was allowed to keep my job.
ps: * HE was the highest paid employee in
Sysofni. 2.68 crore pa before recession. (annual report have the salary of guys drawing more than 2 lacs pm)
pps: my frnd in IBM called after half an hour and other called in the evening - just to know if I still have my job. LOL.
