67. My boss got us good once

Fri Apr 25, 2014, 03:43 PM

Apr 2014

He sent out a long e-mail to all employees. The e-mail began with "Please read entire e-mail before proceeding" and then went on with a long list of requests for documentation regarding projects we were working on, estimated time left, etc. etc., and finally concluded with "Please ignore all the above, I just wanted to see who would read through to the bottom before continuing. Send me a reply when you have finished reading this."

I am happy to say I am one of the few who read it all the way through; many many fellow employees started wasting time trying to fulfill his demands (he WAS a rather demanding boss) and ended up with egg on face, and a wasted hour or two before he let them in on the joke.

Lesson: always read the entire post before commenting...
