A senior director at the company I work for, back when we were getting ready to do layoffs for the first time in the company's history in the tech bubble implosion, went to send a spreadsheet with names, salaries, etc., of a large number of people that they were considering the cost and benefits of laying off to the rest of the directors in the business unit.

However, he had just sent a message to the entire organization, some 200-300 people, announcing the resignation of another director in protest over the layoffs.

When he went to send the spreadsheet, his email autocompleted the address. But the alias for his director reports had the same initial text as the alias for all of his reports. So that's what it autocompleted to. He sent the spreadsheet to his entire organization.

*doh*.
