Except for Dave, who’s now pursuing new career opportunies elsewhere.
My first week at a major fund company I was assigned to an internal business tool used by thousands. I noticed all the company email addresses in the sandbox weren’t correct, so I ran a script to correct them. Cue a call from C-level to my boss asking why he got a “email changed notification”. Followed by another… And another… And another…
I went out to lunch
Not quite as bad as texting all of Hawaii that missiles are inbound, but still interesting. Wonder what they’re testing.
Oh man, I did that at a midsize company as a jr. That’s a right of passage. Informing millions of people that you’re shit at testing. That was a fun conversation with my boss
Always make your test messages something like, “Test message, please ignore”.
That way if it all goes wrong at least it looks like it was somewhat intentional.
I usually go with "Test. Mentioning the existence of this message can make you the target of all sorts of unpleasant things. Ignore this message or else.
You don’t get it. You’re still acknowledging the existence of the message since you’re reading it. You still don’t get it. Either this message exists, or you do. It’s a zero-sum game. Do you enjoy existing?
Are you thinking about it? Wrong.
Test."
Is that actually real?
I got one
That’s nuts
