Hi Community members!


We all may have sent out an embarassing e-mail of some sorts at least once in our lifetime. 


Alternatively, instead of sending it to one person, we sent it to multiple people who weren't supposed to read it.


Or maybe, even worse, you received an email which made you ask, 'Is this really my job?'


So, what's your embarassing email story?

First one when i am seriously applying for jobs , i sent my personal marriage proposal biodata to HR instead of My Resume. Funny thing is that HR replied that she is already married and currently not looking for any applications.
One time i did a small mistake and my manager sent mail not to repeat that again.I replied that “ yes sure i will do that again” instead of never do that again. I missed that “never” part and all Colleagues thought i am daring to stand against my manager.

Ahahahhahah!
Was that a marriage certificate or your status of marriage? I can only imagine that the second one would have been the funniest thing!

About the second story, something similar usually happens to me too! No matter how much I'd try to seem friendly in my e-mails, people sort of believe that I'm passive-aggressive

usually in India people like to go for matchmaking. Some scene from Mulan movie(Mulan goes for matching making).
most of the Indian unattractive guys(like me) feel difficult to find a GF, so what we do is give our details in a paper or online portal and upload it there like matrimony websites or friends or families to find the right girl to marry. mostly that paper contains name,age,height,weight,salary,family details,hobbies,some pictures,horoscope details.so imagine i sent that document to H

Man, don't be so harsh on yourself! Self-confidence is attractive. Self-confidence is the key!

This happened 5 years ago, when I was working somewhere else.

I am not the one who sent it, but it was an all-staff disaster email coming from someone from HR.

The HR guy uploaded a file with all the employees' salaries and bcc'ed the whole company. Imagine all the awkward moments when some seniors realized that their pay was much lower than some of the junior employees!
