Reddit users reveal some of their worst ‘reply to all’ email mistakes
Gaffs include sending around salaries to the whole company and making sexist remarks about co-workers
IT'S the worry of everyone who uses email - accidentally pressing 'reply to all' when the message was intended for one person.
The results can be embarrassing and awkward - and now Reddit users have been sharing some of their worst gaffs when it comes sending a response to the wrong people.
The question was posed by who asked: "What's the worst 'Reply to all' mistake you've made?"
It didn't take more than a day or two for her to get over 2,800 comments on the thread.
iStankonia replied saying: "My former co-worker hit reply all on an email about a golf scramble. He tried forwarding it to another guy talking about seeing one of the new interns in a short golfing skirt.
"Notice I said 'former' coworker... Also, my team won the golf scramble if that matters."
Someone else revealed their co-worker had sent around the message: "hit me up if you need weed" to more than 35 people.
While another recalled a colleague asking for a desktop game link because they were "bored off their t**s."
Another gaff posted on the thread was: "A woman sent a retirement announcement inadvertently to the entire, tens-of-thousands strong agency I work for. People were hitting reply to all to tell others not to reply to all. It went on for hours."
WVAviator highlightd the annoying work colleague who has to answer to everything - he wrote: "A guy at work on a regular basis will reply to all department memos with something like 'OK' or 'Will do.'"
Managers can also make the mistake of hitting the 'Reply to All' button as well - emby5 posted: "HP manager sent an Excel workbook with some pertinent info on the first sheet to everyone, but failed to remove the fourth sheet which had everybody's salary."
Meanwhile Redditer TravelLove88 shared a story about a friend: "Occasionally, the helpdesk or admin folks will send out a building-wide circular to announce something.
"My co-worker thought he was replying to an email to me and said 'Yo, wanna get a burger king for lunch?'"
