TIFU by sending a resignation email to the entire company

So this happened two days ago, and I’ve barely slept since.

I’ve been working at my current company for almost five years, and I recently got an offer from another place with better pay and remote work. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I decided to take it. I wrote up a polite, professional resignation letter, attached it to an email, and meant to send it to my direct manager and HR.

Except I didn’t.

Instead of typing in my manager’s name, I clicked “All Staff” which, for some reason, is not only still an active mailing list, but also includes everyone in the company worldwide, including executives, people I’ve never met, interns, and the literal founder.

So I sent it. Subject line: “My Resignation”

Body: “Hi [Manager], attached is my formal resignation letter. Thank you for the opportunity, and I wish you and the team all the best moving forward.”

Thirty seconds later, I start getting pings.

Not from my manager.

From… everyone.

Coworkers I haven’t spoken to in years messaging me “???” One person just replied with “congrats???” Someone from IT in Singapore asked, “Is this a phishing test?” A guy from Finance I’ve never met replied-all with “Best of luck!” which then triggered 15 more reply-alls. At one point someone replied-all with just “UNSUBSCRIBE” in all caps.

Then my manager messaged me: “Hey, did you mean to send that to literally everyone?”

I wanted to crawl inside my laptop and die. The CEO didn’t respond, but I know he saw it because someone on his team forwarded it to him thinking it was a comms issue.

HR called me that afternoon. They weren’t mad, just very confused. Then they told me this now counts as my “official notice,” and I had basically started my resignation timer a week earlier than I’d intended.

So now I’m scrambling to wrap things up sooner, coworkers I haven’t spoken to in months are asking where I’m going, and I’ve accidentally created the impression that I rage-quit publicly, even though my actual letter was the most vanilla, polite exit email ever written.

TL,DR: Meant to send my resignation letter to my manager, sent it to the entire global company instead, caused a reply-all chain, HR confusion, and now I’m leaving a week early while half the company thinks I rage quit.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
