So I sent out an email at work that I'll be quitting....

[maziwanka]

I'll be quitting July 15th to go to law school in the fall and i sent out this email (to our entire US Financial Institutions Group because I've worked with 80%-90% of these guys):

Sadly, next Friday (15th of July) will be my last day with *****. I have accepted an offer to attend law school and will begin this fall. Law school is typically 3 years, so should any of you require legal aid/service (hopefully not!) don't hesitate to contact me then, via the email address/phone number I have listed below =).

I wanted to thank all of you for making my time here so memorable. I've had the priviledge of making great friends here and thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you. Please keep in touch.

Email - *****
Phone - *****

Best,

Ronnie

Then I get a response from this guy (falls in the 10%-20% of ppl in this group that I don't know):

AND Who on earth are you? And what should I get this e-,ail? Have I ever seen you in my life?

WTF? I was going to write him back, but haven't done so yet. I've told ppl around the office about this b/c this guy is a straight up jackass. Who writes this crap to ppl you don't even know?

UPDATE: The day this happened I tried to stop by his office, twice. Turns out the idiot locked himself out of his office and was just wandering the building waiting for someone to unlock his door.

I ended up forwarding the email to my boss and the rest of my group - laughing it off b/c it was honestly ridiculous (esp since i didn't even know the guy). My boss was out of the office all of last week, but he emailed me back saying that this guy has problems and that i should just ignore it. I left it alone and actually forgot about it, until today...

My boss walks by my desk today and says, "Oh. I wanted to apologize about the email you received from ****. Lets just say that he won't be advancing in his career anytime soon."

I was shocked. My boss is the man. I know he's always looked out for me (and my coworker). He always speaks his mind and if you know what i mean, it can be a good/bad thing. if something bothers him, he doesn't hesitate to confront the situation head on. The newhire in my group was right next to me when he told me that and we just looked at each in amazement. I'm really going to miss this place......

are you talkin about you or him? :laugh:

 

[icejunkie]

funny thing is this will be the first guy that needs to contact you in three years

 

[mugs]

I can think of a line from Pulp Fiction that you should use in your response. And don't use smilies in work e-mails.

 

[MoPHo]

Tell him that you are the man who's been having sex with his wife. That should solve things.

 

[Steve]

Reply to his email, with his included, to everybody, saying who you are "for the benefit of those that do not know who I am or what work I've done."

 

[OutHouse]

since you are quitting. respond in kind.

 

[IGBT]

..forward it to employee relations so they know what kind of front line representation they have in place.

I understand that smilies aren't professional, but I've worked with all these guys in that kind of capacity.

[blackdogdeek]

Feel free to vent here but I would suggest you don't burn any bridges, you never know who'll be your co-worker or boss in the future.

Either don't reply at all or send him an apology stating why he received the email, etc... maybe even lightheartedly invite the guy for a cup of coffee or lunch or maybe even go over and introduce yourself so "now he HAS seen you". Humor works with jacka**es too, might even make the guy madder if you're nice to him than if you were mean.

It actually might even embarrass the guy if you go over and introduce yourself and apologize to his face. I find some people like this like to hide behind emails, but when called to the table will crawl under a rock.

WTF? You're a fricking spammer. Only your manager needs to know. Let him/her deal w/ the inquiries when you're gone.

Post his e-mail address so he can get some more messages from people he's never seen in his life.

And the useless spelling correction of the day - "privilege"

 

[mugs]

I like John P.'s advice
