Is it me or are people just stupid?

If you got 95% compliance, that's pretty good.

Why would I read company wide e-mails? They are invariably useless.

Yeah about 5% of them are useful here

And considering that summer is almost over, and you sent the message out right before a 3 day weekend, I'm surprised you didn't get a lot more calls. Most people at my companies were on vacation and such. Plus your manager sorts never read email, that's why they have assistants. They expect to be catered to in any situation since they approve the $$. A dozen or so people out of 400 isn't too shabby.

:thumbsup:

Granted, people will ignore sitewide emails anyway (and especially IT-related ones), but scheduling it right after a long weekend is just begging for people to forget about it.

I hated it when they would change the password on my email account and then send the new temp password to my email. The exact damn email account that I can't access because the password was changed!

So... you received emails from people unable to get into their email accounts??!

Help! I was going to respond to this post, but I couldn't figure out how!
(j/k - I assume they were using yahoo mail or something else)

Why don't you just have an alert message pop up on all their desktops at the time of the change? (in addition to warning them a week ahead of time)
