Yep we’ve been dealing with IT asking operatives on two small teams if their mobile devices are working all week. I’ve had every single reply from the actual teams it was aimed at plus a dozen ‘why am I getting these emails’ (look in the ‘To’ field you cretins!) replies every day.
It’s clearly been started by IT aiming it a distribution list and not seeing that it’s auto suggested the whole company.

Why is it I am more motivated to work between the hours of about 12pm -10pm rather than the usual 9-5?

You people* really need to start limiting who can use and reply to distro lists and setup some reply all storm protections.
* or whatever resembles an IT department at your places.

Huh. Just got a call where you look at the caller ID and you think I don't know this number and yeah it was one of the jobs that I had randomly fired out, so I had a telephone interview there and then I booked in another interview for Monday.
Huh.

One of favourite my mass email stories was at the last place I worked, a recruitment call centre.
There was an email sent out to all employees regarding a mortgage deal/opportunity of some kind. Really trying to sell this exciting mortgage opportunity.
Now keep in mind most of the employees were youngish folks on fairly low salaries with no prospect of a mortgage anytime soon.
One guy replied to all - the entire company - "well maybe if you paid us more?", apparently the head of ops wasn't thrilled by that. He got a talking to but didn't lose his job.
It's less fun in retelling but was amusing at the time.

Huh. Sounds like things are picking up I'm keeping my powder dry at the moment. Taking things as they come and reacting accordingly.

Now doing the jobs of 2 other people, apparently no money for permanent member of staff still despite paying more money to the temp agency. (it would be cheaper to get a member of staff even for 1 year fixed term and we were paying more money than I get in a year - of course the temp does not get that amount)
