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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally emailed the entire company everyone's salary, sales history, and the names of four people I intended to fire. 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 accidently sent that my butthole was on fire to a group chat with my boss. FML
Today, I emailed a bunch of documents to a potential client, only to later realise later I'd also emailed them a folder of mine and my husband's very intimate photos. There’s things in there we only do when I’m very drunk, and am very embarrassed by. I’ve been ducking my bosses calls for two hours. FML
Today, I was sending screenshots to my best friend about a guy who'd screwed me over. I sent the screenshots to him instead. FML
Today, I had a major falling out with my best friend. Angry, I sent a short text message to him explaining how I felt. I soon noticed I'd accidentally texted "I'm going to fucking kill you, asshole." to my boss instead. I'm still waiting on a reply. FML
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 was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML
Today, I was happy because my co-worker was almost about to get fired due to his lazy habits. It was all going so well. Then I accidentally put my biggest sale yet under his name. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were exchanging some naughty pictures. I accidentally sent one to everybody on my contacts, including my ex, my boss, and even Pizza Hut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know you are being sarcastic, but the ex-employee is doing exactly what he should do. Sending out confidential patient files could get your employer sued for millions of dollars, not to mention the damage those files being in the wild could to to the patient. If your employer just fires you, you're getting off easy.

There has to be more to this. Either you sent the email to the fired employee's personal email or the fired employee still has access to their company email.

Yeah there's something wrong here. The fired employees email should have been removed, and/or access to it should have been changed. Unless you sent it to his personal email, IT also has some explaining to do, especially if this 'fired employee' was still listed in a group of contacts pertaining to your information.

I work in healthcare and I have noticed it takes some time for old e-mail addresses to be deleted, whether it be an account of someone who was fired or quitted on their own. There have been times where it takes about a month or more for them to be deleted, but even then, the account should not be accessible. I was working at another healthcare facility before (on contract, to which I quit before it ended since a better position was offered at my current one) and after a day or two of leaving, I was no longer able to access my e-mail account.

Everyone makes mistakes. I’m sure they’ll understand. I mean, what harm could come from sharing highly confidential data with a disgruntled ex-employee? Relax.

How do you "accidentally" **** up that badly?

It is pretty easy to accidentally send the email to the wrong person. Everyone makes mistakes, most of the time we are lucky and the consequences are not bad so we forget about it.

I would double check and triple check that I had the right email. No excuse.

How did this happen? You'll likely be fired.

This makes me laugh. Not only did you leak confidential files, you whinge about the person they were sent to. Lucky she was a nurse and was professional enough to let you know. Imagine the damage you could've done if it was a general member of the public. I hope management abused you because you didn't lose your job.

You ****** up big time. While I feel bad for you, you can't really shift the blame off yourself for that big of a screwup, and the other guy did do exactly what he should do. Sorry regardless.

Confidential\HIPPA information is usually only permitted on secure servers. If you sent them to someone not on the server, you had to INTENTIONALLY violate protocol. That's not just a screw-up--you very much broke rules on purpose. You completely deserve it.
