More things you should NEVER do in Office Email

Hitting send with a message telling your boss to "Go *kitten* Themselves" when you meant to close it out entirely.
One day, baby, one day.0 -
Don't plan to end your email with "Regards" ... The "g" and the "t" are awfully close together and if you don't look it over before you send........ awkwaaaaaaaaard..0

When our IT manager was standardizing our signature files, he thought everyone in the office should have their photo in their signature. The CEO and COO shot that down pretty quick, thank goodness.0

We had a secretary send out a bestiality clip on her email and CC'd her boss, the VP of the legal department.0

Be careful what you're forwarding. Something meant for one person's eyes isn't necessarily meant for another person's. It's called tact people!0

Don't talk about the boss or the company! One of my friends got fired for this!!! They pulled 3 months of emails and saw where she was doggin' out the dept and promptly fired her.
Don't reply to ALL when you only want to address ONE PERSON.0 -
-Have your photo in your signature(creepy as duck and totally jarring before coffee)
People actually do that??
we do this0 -
Double check before you use "reply all"

My company actually disabled this in our email system for a while.0 -
Using Bible quotes in your signature.
unless that is appropriate for your job/position/office. You would expect that from a chaplain or pastor.0 -
Send religion based chain emails to everyone in your address book.
I've never done this, I'm on the receiving end.0 -

In Microsoft Outlook 2010, there is an option to add pictures to contacts so when you get an email from someone you can see who they are. My company has taken it upon themselves to attach the pictures taken for employee IDs and adding them to all the contacts. So soon, all emails will be accompanied with a pic of them.
I don't like this... mainly because I don't like my ID pic.0 -
Like the word "DOCK" for instance.
Example:
"this authorization is for the construction of a 4' by 250' DOCK, with a 6' by 20' terminal platform.
As luck would have it, the i is right next to the O0 -
Have the quote "Don't take life to seriously, nobody gets out alive anyways" as a signature and a blue cloudy background. Yep, a coworker of mine has that.0

It's amazing how many emails I get a day like this. And I work for the federal government.0 -

UGH! I bet you could fight that. There are privacy issues!0 -

This so much. We have almost 2000 employees at our headquarters building (including manufacturing). Someone will send out an email to EVERYONE with something like "Missing Box for parts from Acme Widgets". Then people will use reply all to tell the sender to check with so and so, and then another person will reply all with something like 'oh I saw that box on the receiving dock'. Then finally the original sender will reply all again with 'missing box found'.
AAARRRRRGGGG
I work in a field office, our division has somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 employees, but they are spread out across the state.
How many of those 3000 do you expect to care that you found a pair of glasses in the 4th floor bathroom?0 -

it's the same as the pic on the badge i have to wear in plain view, so i'm not sure how that would be a privacy issue.
either way, I am not that vigilant about getting them removed, I was just surprised they started to do that on their own.0 -

Well, the difference is that your badge is on your person, controlled inside the organization. Emails can go anywhere, and an ID picture, in addition to the company you work for, your name and contact information, that's just begging for identity theft.0 -
Oh yes, and we had one staff member forward an email about how Barack Obama was going to turn all American's into Muslim's and a lot of hate speech towards Muslims to the whole organization. This included 8 components, the president, all vice presidents..and then you have my component that has a lot of Muslim students practicing dentistry.
He was fired the same day.0
