techrecoveryLong time lurker, first time poster. I work in a corporate IT department for a large non-profit org. The EVP of my department has a particularly obnoxious assistant. She constantly violates guidelines and policies, but she's untouchable - even a group of the IT managers have complained about her, to no avail.
Today marks the most bizarre thing I can remember her ever doing.
Apparently at some point yesterday she called the helpdesk and inquired about ordering some additional equipment - a USB drive, an extra battery, etc. As is our (not new) policy, we request some additional information, like - what's the model laptop you want to use this for? what's the budget number? All stuff she's had to give us plenty of times. The helpdesk agent (we'll call him J) keeps the ticket open in his own queue pending the additional information.
This evening I get home and check my email. Oh, joy! I'm the lucky recipient of an email from the EVP's assistant! Except, I open it, and I'm *not* the recipient. It's addressed to J. I've apparently been BCCd for some unfathomable reason. Oookay, not the first weird thing she's done, but it's not my problem.
I'm doing a little bit of work when I happen to come across this open ticket in J's queue. I peek at it since I'm there, and I see that ANOTHER agent (M) has pasted the mystery email in the activities.
Evidently, this woman has sent J an email and BCC'd my ENTIRE GROUP.
Who *does* this??? I can only imagine the fun and games when everyone else gets in tomorrow morning and has no idea why they have this email addressed to J.
Meteorology as a career is looking better and better.
