The end result, as seen by the distro list:

  • Four of them think they're the hot one.
  • Seven of them think they're cool.
  • Two of them (the wrong ones) feel bad for being unapproachable.
  • Larry in Client Services is now yelling "well fuck you too, buddy!"
  • The Worst Person in the World finally feels like he's getting the attention he deserves.

If you're going to be a dickhead, be the best dickhead you can be. The Achilles of dickheads will be remembered through the ages.

[–]kuuteppi 89 points90 points ago

What about Achilles' dickhead?

[–]Se7en_Sinner 110 points111 points ago

It's his second weakness.

[–]Fushigidane 23 points24 points ago

Well it's been about 3200 years since the proposed end of the Trojan War, so, given I just thought about the head of Achille's dick; yes. It's been ages and I remembered that he had one.

[–]LawrenceLongshot 13 points14 points ago

The Worst Person in the World finally feels like he's getting the attention he deserves.

You mean he's going "I always knew I was the funny one"?

[–]Padmerton 16 points17 points ago

And poor Larry didn't even know he was the hot one.

[–]naughtynuns69 6 points7 points ago

For some reason that reminded me of those math problems they assign where you have to match each person with his or her description.

"23 people work with this soon to be ex-employee. Julie is not the hot one. Peter is more well-liked than Chris but not as much as Joe. Sam once dated the person..."

It really gets tough when you realize you don't know if the person sending the email is a man or woman.

[–]shanks_with_shiv 914 points915 points ago

You are the worst person in the world.

[–]shall_2 113 points114 points ago

I've been saying "I hate so much about the things that you choose to be" to people quite a lot the past couple years and believe it or not people tend to get pretty offended.

[–]IkeHmope 164 points165 points ago

No, people appreciate having their flaws pointed out. That's why I make New Year's resolutions for other people.

[–]harris0n11 28 points29 points ago

I had a new years resolution to floss more and what did I do? I did it, 12:01 blood everywhere.

[–]netizenbane 7 points8 points ago

And why wouldn't they? That's a viable critical remark. One of which I applaud your use, by the way.

[–]HaroldLauder 3 points4 points ago

I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.

[–]grimpoteuthis 6 points7 points ago

I usually just say "I hate you for your stupid opinions and dumb choices." They think I'm just joking and laugh. Laugh away.

[–]anonsequitur 146 points147 points ago

It's like in the firing squad where they give someone a blank. So everyone on the firing squad can rationalize that they weren't the one that killed a man.

[–]SdBolts4 99 points100 points ago

They're shooting FRANK.

[–]ueptvoovtpeu 13 points14 points ago

[–]Keabo 24 points25 points ago

I hope I'm shooting blanks every time I don't pull out.

[–]TonkaTruckin 8 points9 points ago

Next time I am in front of the firing squad, I am going to yell "the colonel told the me third guy on the left has the blank!".

[–]FlutterShy- 8 points9 points ago

If I had a nickel for every time I was at the raw end of a firing squad...

[–]Phlexonance 35 points36 points ago

how is that supposed to work in reality though?

you can tell whether you've fired a blank because there's less recoil

[–]powernut 129 points130 points ago

Pro-tip: there is no blank.

[–]bmidge 92 points93 points ago

I didn't really feel that much recoil, I must have the blank, I couldn't have been the one who killed them then.

[–]SophisticatedVagrant 85 points86 points ago

Recoil is a subjective feeling, you can't go "Yup, that was 5 Recoil Units". So, it's pretty easy for your mind to convince yourself that you felt less recoil that time, especially when you only fire one shot, and don't have any others shortly before or after to compare it to.

[–]RoflCopter4 35 points36 points ago

It's all a psychological ploy anyway.

[–]jxj24 6 points7 points ago

I aim for the balls, just to be sure.

The truth hurts, man.

[–]whatevers_clever 182 points183 points ago

I'd be the "never got to know you very well but you seem pleasant"

hands down.

[–]mrSalamander 129 points130 points ago

This. It's exactly what I strive for at work.

[–]Papasmurf143 66 points67 points ago

keeping your head down is the best way to have nobody ever complain about you.

[–]PrimeIntellect 58 points59 points ago

or promote you

[–]sindekit 29 points30 points ago

And just in case someone goes crazy, they probably won't kill you!

[–]Papasmurf143 22 points23 points ago

except that you blend into the background so well from your years of practice that they do it by accident.

[–]SubliminalHint 27 points28 points ago

You can always tell a Milford man

[–]SmartViking 50 points51 points ago

Actually, I think the asshats thought they were cool, and the good people thought they did something wrong and blamed themselves and thus placed themselves in the asshat group. In other words, the email made the world a worse place by being indirect.

[–]sheerheartattack 64 points65 points ago

I think if you have that many "Fuck you"s to give, then you're probably not all that decent to work with anyway, so no one should care. However, I'm sure this is just a joke.

[–]doodoodle 9 points10 points ago

It's a scene from Half Baked. Watch it. You'll like it. And if you don't, fuck you.

[–]JAV0K 15 points16 points ago

"Oh, someone thinks I'm cool"

[–]xenthum 21 points22 points ago

Said no one, ever.

[–]MarcusAuralius 5 points6 points ago

Maybe we're reading it wrong. Maybe it's more a list of his accomplishments and aspirations. Maybe it should read. "Would fuck, would fuck, would definitely fuck."

[–]rexmons 9 points10 points ago

I'm guessing the order of his "Fuck You List" matches the order he added everyone in the email to.

[–]made_account_to_say 5 points6 points ago

The text and blurred out bit indicates he sent it to a this-email-address-sends-to-everyone.

[–]BigTimeYeahhh 346 points347 points ago

I like how you blurred 'the company' out as if it would give you away.

[–]VoiceofKane 393 points394 points ago

He didn't blur Earth, though.

We know his general location, now we just have to narrow it down a bit.

[–]MNorthey71 115 points116 points ago

somewhere where people speak English... I feel like we are finding Carmen San Diego

[–]danE3030 36 points37 points ago

Where in the world...is CARMEN SANDIEGO!?!?

No, seriously, her daughter is dying of cancer and we need to locate her ASAP to see if she is a match for a bone marrow transplant.

[–]MNorthey71 34 points35 points ago

If only they had the CIA searching for her from the start, rather than pre-teen TV contestants. What were they thinking?!

[–]danE3030 14 points15 points ago

I don't know, but that poor girl is going to die if we don't locate her. Is she sneaking from Berlin down to Belize, or perhaps Kiev to Carolina? Rumors say she's on a slow boat to China...

[–]SirAuron 8 points9 points ago

Probably in San Diego.

[–]Helpfulandattractive 34 points35 points ago

Well.... for one, he's probably in a hemisphere.

[–]Dr_ButtToucher_PhD 20 points21 points ago

I would also guess on a continent.

[–]Bipedal_Blueprint 15 points16 points ago

On land, you mean? Great! That narrows done his location on earth over 60%!

[–]VoiceofKane 9 points10 points ago

I'm just taking a stab here, but I'm guessing he may also be in a country.

[–]dbug 10 points11 points ago

We should ask this guy for help.

[–]i_have_a_girlfriend_ 3 points4 points ago

It wasn't me! 6.999.999.999 to go.

[–]Fartles-and-James[S] 154 points155 points ago

haha yeah I got super paranoid about it being identifiable and edited the email in a couple places. he had the company name there, but I changed it and then blurred it to keep with the original aesthetic. I suck at blurring, apparently. Guess I'm glad I edited out the company name, Mr. Blurreader.

[–]Flipperbw 68 points69 points ago

Next time just put a black box over it. You want to hide it, not just obfuscate it.

[–]Curdflappers 30 points31 points ago

For whatever reason I believe that blurs are more legitimate that black boxes. Just cause it doesn't ruin the immersion of the picture I think.

[–]damontoo 9 points10 points ago

Blurs can be reversed. Always use a solid box.

[–]frozenfire 4 points5 points ago

Even solid boxes can be reversed. EXIF metadata often contains a "thumbnail" of the image, which is often not updated when the image is edited. It's very low resolution, but there are often cases where identifying information is distinguishable and someone gets shit for it.

[–]HakuinEkaku 6 points7 points ago

Black box over it won't work. When you print it out and hold it up to the light you can just make out the name.

[–]werdna314 32 points33 points ago

Its proper paranoia.

Shit like this could spread like wildfire, even a small indication of his identity would probably screw a good amount of business prospects.

Then again, most employers would probably laugh their asses off at that resignation letter.

[–]xenthum 14 points15 points ago

Implying it won't get around to his current (ex) boss anyway, meaning that anyone who calls him will know about his shenanigans and reconsider his employment.

That's how you can always tell these are fake: they don't ever happen in real life. Ever.

[–]Fartles-and-James[S] 10 points11 points ago

Ding.

[–]foolish_enthusiasm 2 points3 points ago

Or he could have already lined up and secured a new job.

Not saying that's what happened or that this is legit, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility of some employees to do something like this. I've worked with a few that I'm kind of surprised we didn't get something like this from.

[–]The3rdWorld 2 points3 points ago

HR departments are kinda like those idiot teachers at school who'd tell you every little thing you did was going on your 'permanent record' and would follow you the rest of your life...

They seem to think that we're bemused by the magic world they walk in, i guess they don't realize that we chose an actual job not because we're scared of the hard work involved in HR but because we're not functionally retarded.

[–]foolish_enthusiasm 3 points4 points ago

I've known a few people in HR that worked pretty hard at what they did and were well respected....I've also known many of the people you described.

I actually had a supervisor of HR send me a personal letter after I quit a retail store telling me that I better not try to get unemployment because she was going to tell them that I quit and didn't get fired.

I quit that job because I was starting one where I would be making $4 per hour more than the one I left.

[–]nexusscope 3 points4 points ago

do you know how few employers actual call references? You would be shocked. The FBI hired one of my dad's former employees and asked him approximately 2 minutes worth of questions, and that's the most he's ever gotten. People way overestimate references in most circumstances?

[–]MaChiseMo 7 points8 points ago

I send hateful emails to Marketing, too.

[–]CandleJaxx 143 points144 points ago

and that, kids, is how I got blackballed by the company I used to work for.

[–]TheEmsleyan 120 points121 points ago

Also, kids, I never met your mother. I'm gay and you're adopted.

[–]sigh-internets 60 points61 points ago

That would be the best ending ever. Also, because it would mean there would be an ending.

[–]mikeno1 8 points9 points ago

This sounds like a good story, care to share?

[–]LnDHaze 15 points16 points ago

I know this response is quite obvious, but I can't believe it's not upvoted more. This was the first thing I thought of when I came here.

[–]E_lucas 360 points361 points ago

The red squiggly line under that word makes it seem like it's open in a text editor right now, not that you're reading it off of your email page.

[–]Fartles-and-James[S] 420 points421 points ago

That is some observant shit right there, seriously. I was replying to him and took a screenshot. Not a text editor, but outlook web access. I edited the name and email address and then blurred it. I'd imagine it's getting forwarded around plenty, but if his identity is going to come out, it's not going to be from me.

[–]jackrabbit02 168 points169 points ago

I think the next logical question is...what was your reply?

[–]Fartles-and-James[S] 844 points845 points ago

"I'm actually quite approachable!"

[–]david_for_you 410 points411 points ago

[–]Fartles-and-James[S] 119 points120 points ago

I got one that simply said, "'Reply back' is redundant!!"

[–]AMostOriginalUserNam 40 points41 points ago

You were definitely one of the okay people.

[–]Great_Chairman_Mao 19 points20 points ago

You clever and shit.

[–]onwardAgain 51 points52 points ago

More observant shit:

The third thing blurred out is obviously "the company". Not sure why that's blurred out unless it's trying to make people thing it's the actual company name.

[–]SycoJack 13 points14 points ago

[–]wellunderstood 5 points6 points ago

MI5 is also known as The Firm.

I love the way that makes them feel so anonymous.

Someone walks in on one of their front stores, "What company is this?"

"- Umm... we're the Company" /feverishly hides various spy gadgets

"Really? Because the sign outside says "The Firm..."" /draws many large guns

"Crap."

Burning the bridge, scorching the earth and poisoning the well.

[–]le_stat_guy2 158 points159 points ago

Seriously, this is the dumbest thing to do. No matter how much you hate someone don't burn the bridge.

1) You will one day want referrals from that company.

2) It is professional to leave on good terms.

3) If you can't find any other jobs you might have to go back.

[–]SomeGuyWithABoner 82 points83 points ago

I think it reflects poorly on someone's character that keeping their job is the only reason they aren't being an asshole and forwarding profanities to everyone. Networking is a valuable trait to have and can lead to some really great job opportunities. 0/10 would not hire.

*To those who disagree with me: Go ahead and burn all of your bridges and see how far that gets you get in life. The real adult world with responsibilities requires you to kiss ass from time to time.This "fuck da police" attitude is really juvenile and something I despise about the Reddit hivemind.

[–]severus66 19 points20 points ago

'Keeping the job' is actually a pretty significant reason for doing a lot of otherwise irrational shit at the office.

It's usually why you:

Show up every day, at a time usually far earlier than desirable.

Laugh at the boss's jokes.

Put up with people with severe character defects and other asshole behavior.

Don't hit on the hot chicks.

Generally act like a clean-cut, corporate, buttoned-up dude with no strong opinions on politics or religion whatsoever, who's never smoked or sped on the highway ever before.

That steady paycheck will make you do a lot of things. Some people even fuck disgusting tubs of shit for steady cash.

Let's not pretend we aren't a bunch of chimpanzees living in the jungle.

Your 'would not hire' is irrelevant. The profanity-laced letter (if warranted) comes after you quit, not out in the interview. That's kind of the whole point.

[–]SomeGuyWithABoner 8 points9 points ago

Last I checked, most employers like to chat with your previous employer to see what type of worker they are. They can't legally say anything nasty, but you can say things in a way that sends a clear message of "do not hire" so yeah, it's pretty relevant.

[–]netizenbane 10 points11 points ago

10/10 has a boner

[–]Reptarftw 35 points36 points ago

I don't know why you were being downvoted for that. Apparently everyone responding here has never had a real job.

[–]woopsifarted 16 points17 points ago

Agreed. I mean I definitely thought it was funny, but I would never do this

[–]CaveBacon 13 points14 points ago

This is Reddit and you are exactly right. This type of email is what you think working in the real world is like when you're 18.

[–]Reptarftw 7 points8 points ago

To be fair, I still have friends who are 25 and think like this. Just don't see the long-term scale of things, especially if you want to stay in the same industry.

I actually had to fire an associate in May when it was just painfully obvious, after being on for a year, that he just wasn't going to put the requisite effort into his job or follow directions from management. He went on a huge Twitter tirade afterward. Ended up coming back to me for a reference request a few months later, and I had to tell him "look, man, you seemed like a nice enough guy, but you put me in a position where I'm unable to honestly endorse you as a candidate anywhere."

[–]pinkybones 3 points4 points ago

Granted, I'd love to do this at my work, and probably wouldn't regret it too much. The difference is, I work in retail.

[–]TheQueefGoblin 3 points4 points ago

That's entirely subjective. If a company treats you like shit and you never want to associate with them (or any of their contacts) again, this is perfectly justifiable.

Source: I have been treated like shit from a company before, with whom I will never work again, and felt like doing this.

It's better to just leave w/ no notice if you really dislike a company than pull this sort of stunt. You end up looking like an immature ass and the people you despised so much will have proof that they were not in the wrong treating you "badly" if you're the type of person who'd exit that way.

On the other hand, leaving w/ no or short notice tells an employer that you were trying your best to leave as quickly as possible and no amount of discussion would have solved the issue(s) you had with them. That might lead to heads rolling with your managers and coworkers (if they've been thought of driving good workers away in the past).

Despite being warranted or not dont burn bridges. You will NEVER know what could happen. The simple fact the bridge burning looks and sounds bad can hurt.

Here's an example that was very unexpected for me.

I worked at a company for a short while and it wasn't bad by any means. I left but I made damn sure to leave on good terms both for networking and who knows where I will be down the road. Turns out that the company I moved to was bought by my old company 8 months later. Boom now I am back at my old company but now I have a much more prestigious job and doing exactly what I want (hardly anything has changed as far as the new company goes). Guess what would have happened if I said "FUCK YOU!" as I went out the door.

I thoroughly disagree. From a professional standpoint you may be right, but his stock relative to the hot one and the unapproachable one can only have gone up when he clicked "send"

Nuking the city, releasing and spreading a deathly anthrax in the country, hitting the planet with a huge asteroid.

[–]Crizzletin 15 points16 points ago

I was expecting "Fuck you, I'm out" at the end ..wasn't there :(

[–]mister_nish 14 points15 points ago

i hope he doesn't need a reference.

[–]idownvotedyourmom 38 points39 points ago

He's got 8!

[–]Cbarber 18 points19 points ago

Why did you blur out 'the company'? Unless your company is actually called The Company.

[–]derwinter 7 points8 points ago

Everybody counting to 8...

[–]sidcool1234 30 points31 points ago

Thoroughly unprofessional, ruining his chances of future employment opportunity.

[–]2dgam3r 18 points19 points ago

Burn those bridges! I take it they won the lottery and don't need any references.

[–]fireduck 20 points21 points ago

No one gives references anyways. Out of fear of lawsuits they just verify employment and that is it.

[–]TheQueefGoblin 2 points3 points ago

I am usually not a skeptic at all, but the blurred text in the body reads "the company". Why would you blur out "the company"? Seriously.

[–]LyingCretan 10 points11 points ago

Did you blur out the words "the company"? That's weird.

[–]memefix 4 points5 points ago

So...

Fuck you

Fuck you

I want to fuck you

Fuck you

[–]CMDann 2 points3 points ago

[–]tequiila 3 points4 points ago

Reminds me of this from Soul Khan

[–]R3Jester 3 points4 points ago

Definately fake.. Why else would you blur out "The Company"...?

[–]bowerbirder 7 points8 points ago

ask her out NOW!

[–]J_Jammer 5 points6 points ago

Haha...the last bit is my favorite.

...hope to see 8 of you in the future.

I know what he means...I feel 'em.

Everyone is thinking they are the funny one, everyone thinks highly of their own humor

[–]little_oaf 6 points7 points ago

This would be some crazy shit if he had gone on a shooting rampage while reading off the list. After sending out the email of course and inviting them to the meeting room for "cake".

[–]Apokalyps 19 points20 points ago

You mean, the cake would be a lie?

[–]justlikeearth 5 points6 points ago

I like how it seems as if the blurred out company name says "this company"

[–]BravoDavo 0 points1 point ago

And fuck you I'm out.

[–]pastenseofdraw 0 points1 point ago

Well, at least you're hot!
