I worked with a dude who sent the VP salaries of Time Warner VPs to all Ime Warner VPs.
Being an actuary requires ridiculously difficult math tests that suck the soul right of a person, but it pays pretty darn good and these tests are excellent at filtering out idiots that have no clue how to do life, thus I rarely deal with any of this crap unless our team has to deal with finance.
A guy my wife works with at Kentucky Farm Bureau sent an HR list with the entire companies salaries listed on it to everyone and took about 15 minutes to recall it by which time about 40 employees had opened the attachment. Idiot.
What ended up happening? Did people quit or demand raises? Was the HR woman fired?
I can't imagine something destroying morale quicker than leaking that info. I can just imagine the resentment in seeing that.
I'm sure those 40 people shared it with everyone as well. Just like with my question to Beave, what happened afterward with the staff after they had that info?
Reply All is the worst for me. Normally the dummies that hit reply all are the employees that no one values their opinion anyway.
Annoying signatures. Our marketing guy wants everyone to have some ***** *** signature with our photo, logo, contact, comp Facebook, website, Twitter. It is atrocious. I let him put it on my outlook and then I just replaced it with a normal Namd, Title, Phone number.
Unfunny signatures about typos or that tell you it was written by Siri .
Sent From My IPad emails.
Emails telling my to think about nature and to not print the email.
Emails that tell me the email is private and confidential

Someone accidentally sent an email to a list serve at Humana that had about 5000 employees on it. Then someone who actually needed the email replied to all their response. Then the original sender replied to all to disregard the email and the follow up. Then about 50 jackasses replied to all to let us all know they did not wanted to be removed from the chain. About 10 people replied to all to let the 50 jackasses know that their emails did not need to be sent to everyone and that they are just cluttering up people's inboxes. It takes a special kind of stupid to be one of those 10 folks.
That happened to all of the teachers in KY a couple of years ago. Woke up to 150+ emails in the middle of the night and about that many in the morning. Morons.
I've been a part of this for a company with over 50K employees. It happened again this summer for the first time in about 10 years. I'll give one guy credit though, besides the dummies responding to all with the typical "please take me off this email" and "PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO ALL - IT IS DISRESPECTFUL", we did have a big wig respond with a "YEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWW!!!!!!"
Partial responders who can't pay attention piss me off. For example, I will send an email asking two questions and they quickly respond with an answer to the first question only. I always have to ask "so what about the second thing I asked?" and I get the "sorry, I didn't see that." I've started actually numbering my questions in emails. I guess most people have ADHD or something.
They are just doing as little as possible to get you to stop yammering on.
I guarantee that somewhere there is someone bitching "... and now the ******* has started numbering his paragraphs to try to get me to respond to each one of his inane questions. Lord give me strength."
