And they just included them all in the 'to' instead of bcc. Very professional.

That email is company wide, not specific to those fired

Yes, but you always BCC large groups like that to prevent reply-all disasters.

I was once on a massive reply-all chain. Most of the emails were "stop replying all!" But one made me chuckle. "I like these emails it makes me feel important."

My favorite was when someone from HR finally replied and asked everyone to stop replying to all or else. Then one guy replied “Ok” to all.

I was once in a reply all email chain where one person got so irrate at everyone else that a subreddit was created just to post memes about this person. I wish I could remember the sub name, but it was years ago and the sub probably isnt there anymore anyway.

Reminds me of /fucktsarevich, a sub only for hating a particularly arrogant and unpleasant character in Genshin Impact..

It's more the quest that's the problem than the NPC.

The NPC has a repeatable quest that has a random really low chance of being available on each IRL day. It will become unavailable again the next day regardless of if you do it or not and if you were successful or not.

The quest has three different paths. Doing each path successfully at least once gives you an achievement that's prob the hardest to get in the game, because of how low the chance of it spawning on a given day and you logging on to the game and checking if it is available that day are. And it has to be repeated at least three times (more if you fail the quest).

The rewards are negligible but completionists get understandably pissed off.

People logs in everyday, so sooner or later they'll get the achievement; personally I hate him for how easily he talks shit of others, even to their face.

100% - it's obviously a company run by slack jawed morons but the original comment had assumed it was only those affected getting the email, which is a different context

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's normally standard to send mass emails using BCC to avoid someone using the Reply All button to spam up people's inboxes.

[–] huginn@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago

Totally - just pointing out that implied in the first comment was those included in the email were the fired ones when that's not the case

[–] s3p5r@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah you're right, I missed the "impacted employees will receive" line. Tired skimming fails again.

[–] huginn@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago

Easy mistake to make - it wasn't exactly front and center
