Hi All

Just had to share this with some one.

at work today, you know how it is email tennis goes on and they hit reply all instead of reply.

well i get copied in a lot of high level emails (mostly by accident)

anyway.

there have been some ongoing discussion about a supplier change.

I know that in this email distribution list is our VP, SVP and numerous directors.

Unfortunatley the "new" buyer didn't

the response they made, directed to the VP, copied to all an sundry read loosely as follows

"Don't you know anything about change managment, how can you expect the XXXXXXX (supplier) to do that, you really need to learn how hard my job is!"

I just looked behind me, when the VP walked down to there desk, and gave them his business card.

UTTERLEY PRICELESS

ha ha quality

similar thing, though not as bad happened at RBS. someone from ulsterbank was doing a charity nite thing, sent an email to the whole address book thanking, what was really just about 10 people for turning up. they had an email conversation with each other, which ended up clogging the WHOLE system up all day, as it was sent to EVERYONE in the RBS groupe, RBS, nat west, ulster, churchill, tesco finance, bank of chine, ABN amro, all the branches, bosses etc. every time, every one hit reply to all, it all happened again. brilliant

I hope he filled in his own p45 to save the bother.

I don't get it? What are VP's and SVP's?

at one time the company offered free premuim adult channels to the staff to test the new pay2 view systems billing ect before it went live.....well there was a good response to the offer but the idiots pressed reply all which generated a global email of 14000 copies x exnumber of ID10ts.
Clogged up the system for days........the suprising bit was that some of the most quiet types replied. oh how we laughed that day

Did this really happen or is it copied from an American site? Surely no one's that blown up that they call themself president of the company?

Nope, both the last two UK companies I've worked for had SVP's and VP's (one had EVP's - Executive Vice Presidents as well).
In the UK it doesn't tend to get expanded in the same way as the US.
