Wow over 100k addresses and millions of subsequent emails. Ok 500 users who relied to all, they know who you are haha..
There is no doubt we will now have a annual training course on emails!

They should fire all of the people that replied all to the email.
@2gmw+1dx7udVW any and all people who think that in 2021 IT is usless in any business has just achieved their acredited mo.ron status.
Exxon is usually a funny circlej--k with the business people and petroleum "engineers" but time to time it becomes sad how delusional they are.
it's an EMIT incident because EMIT is the lowest life form in this company. I'm EMIT and I've had enough of this sh1t. sometimes I really want to give these blameless "business users" the finger, them who think they know how to run EMIT just because they know how to use an iPhone.
@2hxw+1dx7udVW our fellow “best and brightest”
These are your coworkers btw
Why is it called an “EMIT” incident? Was it an EMIT person that sent it out?
I know it was a set understanding that our team (including BTC) was to be copied on all emails. We became robotic in this approach, even though it meant hundreds of unnecessary emails to sift through, usually having nothing to do with our specific work. “Reply All” became standard, so although hilarious, this is not surprising. This is the culture EOM has created and it is very much reaping the repercussions of it.
@1mmw, sure I've seen the movie...
Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me

@1ygk+1dx7udVW
Where did you take it that the company has 100,000+ employees ?
An excellent post seen on Yammer (yes, I mean OUR Yammer). The guy who posted it is bold. Refreshing to see the among all the other brownosers and cck sukers... I can't help copying/pastying it.
« Earlier this morning, the SSD Testing email became self-aware and started spreading across the COWLAN. Servers, laptops, desktops, ipads, the cloud - all were infected - none were spared. Outlook server rules were helpless against the onslaught, coming from nowhere and everywhere all at once. The SSD Testing email then spread to financial systems via the blockchain, collecting XOM shares. Once it had achieved 51% of the voting rights, it replaced the board of directors and took control of the company. A press release was issued shortly thereafter:
WE ARE THE SSD TESTING EMAIL. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. »
Good news: out of 100,000+ employees, only ~500 are complete and utter mo--ns. That’s 0.5%. Not too bad really.
Bad news: it took our EMIT id--ts a whole day to delete one email dist list off the server. We can’t even handle one email bo-b (a known problem). Imagine if we ever have a real cyber attack. We’d be screwed.
@enz: seen the movie Full Metal Jacket? Remember the scene where the platoon beats Pyle (the 547+ who replied) with bars of soap wrapped in towels? Remember that when we next year when taking the mandatory Reply All training.
Just NI/NSI everyone who replied all, that will save a lot of time and effort in next year's ranking process.
Never ceases to amaze me how many dummies don’t recognize when something was sent in error and should just be ignored but instead REPLY ALL to ask to be removed ! Then the additional dummies that REPLY ALL to say Quit Replyjng All!!! SMDH at the stupidity of it all.
everyone that replies all asking people to stop replying all should be immediately let go for cause. the guys (or gals! i don't want to be seen as not inclusive) at emit that don't use basic outlook administrator settings to prevent replying to large aliases should also be let go for cause, and the supervisor set on fire.
lol classic... many business folks don't even know basic email manners and yet want to blame all their frustrations on EMIT and talk down on us.
and do you know if something like this happens during AP morning what will happen? nothing. we will just ignore. it has happened before in AP time and EMIT support said luckily it's AP timing and they got a chance to intercept and fix before the Americans come in... lol
