One of my coworkers always wants to send out company-wide mass-emails for every trivial issue. And then complains that nobody ever reads or responds to her emails. Duh, they've learned to tune out out because you waste everyone's time.
I have the same thing, but he doesnt email, just blurts out trivial info from his desk. When that doesnt work he walks the length of the office spouting such gems as: the stock market update, things celebrity's have said on facebook, pick up lines from 30 years ago, the same story he told you last week, specific program facts that have nothing to do with you, etc....
Anyway---
My supervisor and coworker (mentioned above) do not get along, at all.
My coworker despises her because she is a women and in position of authority over him. The bickering back and forth is quite constant, and usually in a professional manner.
first thing this morning we get an email stating "I have accepted a new job at the (Redacted) and will start in two weeks. I wanted you to be the first to know. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with you both."
I knew right away it was an april fools joke. If she were to leave she would not have included that last line.
he spent an hour fussing, pulling his hair out and going into full panic mode. "how dare she leave", "who does she think she is". He then emailed people about the office implosion that would not happen.
when he found out it was a joke, he shrugged it off with a "you got me", and proceeded to walk around the office telling everyone!
