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.

very good advice.:thumbsup: listen to this man.

while that might be true, this jack-ss doesn't look like he's going to go far in life to become maziwanka's manager anytime soon.

maziwanka: you should pull the manager prank ("hi, i'm the manager's son," as mentioned earlier in this thread) or just write him back saying that you worked with 80-90% of the guys and therefore decided to be nice enough to email everyone and he just happened to have been on the distribution list. then inform him nicely that you already told your boss about his very unprofessional behavior.

i haven't been in the working world very long, but i've been working long enough to see that the words "you never know" actually do mean "you never know". he might not become his manager (esp. if maziwanka is a lawyer), but people don't have to be directly superior to you to have influence over you. there is simply *no point* to burn your bridges the way people are fantasizing about here.

i definitely had no intention of doing that, but I did want to confront him about the email - either by writing him back, apologizing but hinting that his response was inappropriate, or by introducing myself to him and see what he has to say to me in person.

if you introduce yourself to him, you give him less of an opportunity to think of an intellectual retort (if he's capable of such). go approach him. don't do the email thing.

QFTT!

 

[KarenMarie]

just reply with an apology that says something like:

"I apologize that your inbox recieved the unsolicited email I sent. I was not aware that it would go to the insignificants, as well as my friends."

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?

"who writes crap to ppl you don't even know?"

do you know him? i wouldn't waste my time on him by emailing him back, the dumbass.

 

Ask him "what on earth is an 'e-,ail? I don't think I've ever seen one if my life!"

 

[chrisms]

Only one solution.. DH1TB

 

[shilala]

Let it go.

 

[cerebusPu]

damn what an ass....

Gratz on going to law school though!!! where ya goin?

[John P]

hahahaha. i like this idea of introducing myself to the guy. im still pissed at this guy.

One of three things will happen.

1) The guy will actually be nice and have a brief converstion with you and wish you luck. Doubtful though if he is as described.

2) The guy will be loud and be belligerent to your face. If that happens intrduce yourself, apologize, exit...

3) The guy will be embarrassed and start to squirm and mumble like the pyro in the movie "Office Space". If this happens carry on a converstion with him for as long as you can and watch him squirm.

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

nice. now im an imcompetent lawyer. hahahahahahaha

edit: hahaha. iNcompetent damnit.

Guess it's arguably better than an incontinent lawyer

some people view such email as spam. the ceo of our company sent out a similar response to an email for someone who was quitting. he asked what was the purpose of sending it to the whole company rather than the people with whom you worked over the years.
