Today, I accidentally emailed the entire company everyone's salary, sales history, and the names of four people I intended to fire. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I meant to send a cheeky “I’m out of the office” reply to my team but instead hit “reply all” on an email chain with my entire company, including my boss, HR, and some clients. The message included a joke about “sleeping through meetings” that was NOT work-appropriate. FML
Today, I sent an important email to my entire team, but I accidentally left a shopping list as the subject line. They responded with grocery items they needed. Nobody mentioned the email content. FML
Today, I accidentally sent a text message meant for my best friend to my boss. The text was about how much I hated my job and my boss's constant micromanagement. FML
Today, I accidentally sent highly confidential patient records to a fired employee. This employee made the biggest song and dance about it, calling every boss possible. I couldn't have sent it to a better person. FML
Today, I was emailing my department about a huge meeting we’re going to have. I was also emailing back and forth with another colleague about office gossip. I absentmindedly replied to the wrong email. I hit reply all to the meeting e-mail, saying that the new supervisor of X department was "so fucking retarded." FML
Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. FML
Today, I accidently sent that my butthole was on fire to a group chat with my boss. FML
Today, I sent a reply-all email to my entire company that said "Go tit" instead of "Got it". FML
Today, I made a digital contact card for my department that needed to be sent to payroll. Since we didn't have one before, I sent a copy to the rest of the department to use if they wanted. I didn't send the blank though. I sent 100s of people all of my contact info. Somehow, I managed to misspell my own name too. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Kudos to you. Contrary to popular belief there is no reason not to be transparent about salaries. Bit of a nasty one on the people you intend to fire though, I assume they were unaware...

Maybe where you work, most of my jobs you would get in a bit of trouble for talking about salaries... something this extreme at my job would most likely get you terminated :(

I work for a company where our hours are usually billed to customers. As your billing rate is tied to your salary everybody has a general idea how much you make. Very transparent and very honest system. If a customer is willing to pay your rate, your salary is fair. I just don't see why it's a big deal. The only reason I can think of is if the salaries are very unfair or there's a very big variation between different people doing the same job. All situations where it is not in the interest of most of the employeees to keep salaries a secret...

I wonder if they'll notice anything interesting when looking at salary / sales history, like evidence of the gender wage gap. Hopefully this is not still a problem for your company, but it generally is. If so, expect lawsuits for another reason (in addition to privacy matters).

a disparity in salaries doesn't mean that something odd is going on, but you can be sure that people will get upset about it anyway. If I start a new position where I earn, for ex. $35000 based on prior experience, and my coworker who has worked for the same company for longer than I have makes less than me, say $30k (owing to less experience, though he has more within the company), there is still the possibility of temper flareups and hysterical backtalking- justified or not. A disparity could also mean that someone got a higher raise than someone else, which also causes problems, since performance evaluations are not public information and someone may feel that another person's raised wasn't justified. Trust me, we have these problems at my workplace all the time. Salary and performance information should be strictly confidential. It's no one elses business and should remain between employer and employee. I'd be pissed if my salary and performance information were circulated in the office.
