I saw that earlier tonight on my news page.

Talk about awkward.

In reading the comments, it seems as though the email was simply a "thank you for your resignation, please remember your contractual duties" rather than a firing.

Here's another link to that story:

Just reading the headline made me laugh! This is just another example of technology gone wrong.

I couldn't get the first link to work but the second works fine.

And i'm left wondering something... According to link 2, the email was suppose to go ONE person. I'll call that person "Employee X" cos he/she isn't named.


What I'm wondering about is... did they address the letter to Employee X. I mean sure the email went to everyone but did they NAME Employee X in the email itself.



Cos if they did that... then Employee X might have a bit of leverage to use against the company.
