Today, HR sent a review email to me asking me to anonymously tell them about my boss. I decided to use this opportunity to tell them what a dick he was. I printed off the review, filled it out, then scanned and emailed it to myself. Or so I thought. Turns out I'd sent the review to my boss. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I sent my resumé to a former coworker to get some pointers, except that I sent it to his old work email account and now my boss knows I’m looking for a new job. FML
Today, I received an email from my boss telling me how appreciated I was and how valuable I am to the company. I wish I hadn't scrolled down to read the included conversation where he asked his boss whether to lie to me about how good I was or not. FML
Today, my boss made me type up my own written warning, where I had to trash myself and describe my own "shocking incompetence". All the department heads are going to receive a copy of this. FML
Today, I emailed my fiancé the assignment that I was handed for a journalism job interview, asking for him to take a look and give opinions about it. I accidentally e-mailed it to the job interviewer. She responded, and even CCed it to the CEO. FML
Today, I found a website that lets you write an email to yourself from "the past". I used my boss's address, and wrote a long email about how much I hate him, signed from me. It worked, and he'll receive it in 6 months, after I move away. He's already received the confirmation email, though. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
Today, I (admittedly dumbly) AI generated pictures of my boss as a joke with my coworkers. They asked me to send them to them but instead I ended up sending it to my boss. A bunch of them were him extremely obese or with his ass out. I can't unsend. FML
Today, I accidentally posted an extensive, negative review of the gynecologist I visited earlier this week. I messed up and posted it from my work's customer service email, so now it looks like the large, well-known company I work for had a poor gynecological experience. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe your boss is hard on you because you make careless mistakes like this?

Doesnt matter, anonymous surveys are never really anonymous. Always, watch what you say. If you critisize your boss do it as if he was reading it.

Very true. Last year my employer sent out an all employee "anonymous" survey and I didn't fill one out because I knew it wasn't truly anonymous. Sure enough, my supervisor asked me about a week later why I hadn't done the survey. I asked him that since I hadn't told anyone that I didn't do it how could he possibly know I hadn't done it? Wasn't it supposed to be completely anonymous? He just sheepishly mumbled under his breath and walked away.

How to explain that one...

If you emailed directly from the scanner to your boss, is there a chance it'd still be anonymous? If from your own email address then you've learnt a lesson about double checking, at least. Perhaps your boss may even consider what you've said and improve their behaviour, though you won't see it

Sorry to hear your boss is such a dick, but that was a dumbass mistake. YDI.

Judging by OP's name, I'm guessing her employment was terminated? That sucks. In future reference however, triple check the recipients of any email - especially ones like that.

Why would you mail it to yourself?...You know what you wrote. Why not even just scan it to a flash drive? YDI

Yeah I was wondering that too. Why not just fill out the anonymous survey and submit it and be done with it? Did OP need to save it to congratulate his/herself? Seems odd.

Maybe the form needed to be emailed to HR? That's the only reason I can see that she would need to email it to herself?

It's not really anonymous if you're emailing it to HR

How do you email something to the wrong person

bruh you ****** up

You deserved it for not double checking before you hit send. You always double check before sending anything risky.

I think that it was a dumb idea anyway so that's on you
