Someone in Dallas did something similar, but without the reply all.

He tried to get a company to let him fill a job and when they declined he sent them an email trashing their company and the managers. The person he sent it to then forwarded it to everyone he knew, especially recruiters. Before long that guy couldn't get anyone to let him recruit for them.

Telling the guy off in e-mail was a dumb move. Even if he didn't hit "reply all," that job seeker could have forwarded it everywhere, achieving the same thing.

That said, a guy who spams 4000 companies with his CV/Resumes who wasn't even smart enough to use bcc? He really doesn't have a chance of getting hired.

I wonder if Mr. Chaplin is related to John Fitzgerald Page? They certainly seem to be cut from the same cloth...

I need to forward this to a jerk at my workplace who always hits "reply to all". Even when we're explicitly instructed to respond to one person and nobody else should (or needs) to see any replies. The poor guy has no idea that he's the butt of jokes in every department.

remember that dude who died from having a horse fark him years ago? Well I worked at a company and my co-worker found the video online and thought it would be funny to email to me.

We had codename products and email lists associated with those. One of the codenames started with the first two letters of my first name. I got the email and completely did a double take. Then I noticed he didn't send it to me, he sent it to the codenamed list accidentally. This list had 95% of the company including the owner and all our product managers. When I went to his cube to explain what he did he sent out another email to the list telling everyone to disregard the email as it was only for my eyes.

Yeah, thanks for that one buddy.

Gary Chaplin then ended the interview early, citing a need to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

No one who finds people fill jobs in an economy where there are more job seekers than jobs is worth £200k per year.

Dont give me that crap about "special skillsets" and "competition for the best talent" either.

This job could be done by a trained chimp for the cost of bananas. And the chimp is smart enough not to reply-all

My company actually shut off the 'Reply All' function in Outlook on all of its computers.

He should come over to the US, where he'll get paid 10 times as much.

So he doesn't get paid to spend 6 hours a day on Match.com, Etrade.com and FarmVille. No loss to the company. No loss to society.

2011-12-10 08:41:42 PM

Not only did he fark up the reply, he then shows he didn't learn a thing by trying to explain himself to the press when he should have said "no comment".

And I sent out a stupid email once, to my boss. Web stories or links I could not watch at work because it was too risky I would email to my personal address. But one day when I wasn't paying attention I began to write an email, and I let Outlook autofill by bosses' email address in the TO field but I didn't realize it (I was tired that day). The link I was sending myself was about "two girls one cup".

About a minute later I realized what I did and ran to her office. She read me the Riot Act but neither fired me or had me written up. Still surprised neither one happened.

This! No one in the history of the universe has ever been impressed by a photo of someone leaning up against there car. Get over yourself!

/note: if you are a hot Asian/Mexican/Philipeno girl sprawled over the hood of a tuned up import at a car show... The above rant totally does NOT apply to you. I assure you I am very impressed and would love to let you...... Um.....wait, I had something for this..... Crank my shaft?

I was sent that video by the interim CEO at the place I was working at the time. Good times.

Think about that as you start your new position as a male prostitute.

This is what I'm wondering. Why does the "Reply All" button exist, anyway?

But yes, this is hilarious that karma finally caught up to him.

Beat me to the punch!

One I was looking for but couldn't find...years ago, some clueless moron decided to spam Usenet with his Private Investigator/get-rich-quick services, including a photo of him resting on the hood of a BMW. As this was a group of perverse individuals who made it their mission to create, twist and photoshop images, they had a ton of fun with it, and eventually the guy backed down after he realized he'd spammed exactly the wrong group.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but the guy leaning against the car is not the guy who wrote the email. He is Dan "The Bastard" McCarthy, a fellow headhunter referred to in the email and probably equally as douchetastic, just not publicly.

I believe it helped with impromptu discussion groups, and facilitated discussions within large organizations.
