UPDATE: Quitting employee calls out manager in dramatic resignation email, accidentally sends it to all 250 employees, sparking "revolution": 'Within 2 minutes my phone started blowing up... My manager calling. HR calling. The CEO called'

This worker accidentally quit their job in the most memorable way possible — by firing off a scathing resignation email to all 250 employees, including their manager and CEO!

If you work in any job long enough, you're bound to have the kind of boss whom you cannot stand. Sometimes it's a personality clash. Some are total micromanagers. Others only storm into the office to berate the employees for their failures… before leaving for a long vacation, giving the employees 0 support when they actually need it.

Complaining about your terrible boss can build camaraderie in the office, though! Maybe you and your 3 closest coworkers have created a group chat, email chain, or Slack channel solely dedicated to whining about the manager. Every time they do something that irritates you, you can drop a meme or a gif or a long paragraph ranting about how you can't wait to leave this job for another.

You've got to be careful, though: with just one errant message, you can cause your career to implode! Even sending a rolling eyes emoji or a message like "Ugh, he's so annoying" to the wrong group chat or email thread can be detrimental. And we all make mistakes, so there's a non-zero chance you'll mess up at some point!

This person found that out the hard way after sending the wrong attachment in a 2-week's notice email! The usual failsafe, the "email recall" button, was just not working. They're now in a mortifying spiral at Starbucks… but they shouldn't be too worried, because as you can read in their story and update, they sparked some revolutionary thinking at their (now former) job.
