I didn't give maximum effort according to my pa, when an outside contractor who was giving kickbacks to my supervisor, tried to sell our company a circa 2000 used phone system.

I got in trouble at work because I sent an email to my manager about some new servers that were being installed, but didn't appear we had access to the management console. I let her know the entire team will need access so we could properly support the machines. I was pulled into a conversation... How dare I presume my direct manager who only managed my team, have any idea what we do!

(Lost all respect for her that exact moment)

Ugh, I hate that this is something I think about every time I send an email.

If cringe means I'm embarrassed for someone else, what's the word for being pissed off for someone else? I'm that.

I like to sometimes purposely flip the order so it's ordered as least senior 1st just to fuck with people and see if anyone calls me out on it.

You're joking but everytime I send an email I have to check seniority and make assessment based on ego

This is so weird to me...I never knew this was even a thing, and I've been in a corporate environment for several years now

I got in hot water for mentioning during a meeting that requiring us to schedule our sick days is how companies get around ADA rules.

My mind translated CCd as crowd-controlled and now I can't get that thought out of my head. :-D

Well you do want to get the highest level mobs off your healers first so

Other than the douche bag who reamed you out, the rest of the managers would probably rather you left them off of that email. Sooo many bullshit emails that managers would love to not receive.
