    Hi Team,

    Just a quick reminder that we are changing the API today so be sure to circle back with your appropriate internal and external clients to make sure this isn’t a surprise. We’d like this to go as smoothly as possible so that nobody has to work Christmas week. Thanks!

    Hi All,

    This message was intended only for our mobile software development groups. My email decided to autofill the group address for every employee and contractor at the company. If you received the message in error, simply disregard. Sorry for the noise.

    I do not work on anything that deals with an API I feel I received this message in error. Could someone contact the owner for this group remove me? I do not wish to receive any further notices regarding API work.

    Everyone please STOP using the “reply all” button when responding to this thread. You are spamming everyone in the company and all our contractors, also you are displaying a surprising amount of technological illiteracy by not understanding how email works. Just stop.

    Hi All,

    This is a cross-company, multi-partner mailing group. It was created after the most recent comms meeting as a way to deliver necessary information in case of the rare events like emergencies. Only then is it necessary to reach out to everyone associated with Peebo. You CANNOT be removed from this list as long as you are still employed or contracted by Peebo. Furthermore, no employee outside of our executive team should be using this mailing list. Under no circumstances should anyone reply all to this message.

    How is replying all to this thread helpful, Richard? What do you even think you are accomplishing? How can you work here and not have a basic understanding of email?

    It is inappropriate to use this thread for any conversations that are not germane to the entire company. It is especially concerning that individuals continue to reply all with jokes and interpersonal disagreements. Don’t you see that using this mailing list for anything other than emergencies puts us all at risk?! STOP REPLYING ALL. You are spamming the executives!

    I don’t appreciate being publicly reprimanded by you, Chet. YOU are contributing to the problem here. NOT ME. I’m trying to politely excuse myself from conversations that aren’t meant for me using channels that aren’t appropriate. It seems like YOU are the one not accomplishing anything, as clearly I have a basic understanding of email. IF I DIDN’T HOW COULD I EVEN SEND THIS MESSAGE?

    Why do people keep replying all? You cannot be removed from this list! Stop replying all. You must stop. It is unprofessional to keep replying all. Just don’t do it. Don’t reply all. The only thing that replying all will do is make it harder for Charisma’s team [MY TEAM] to have Christmas off.

    It is also inappropriate to refer to our time off in December as “Christmas.” We are working on an immersive and diverse team. The preferred term is “winter break.” Also, please stop replying all.

    You know what? I’m really glad some of you keep using reply all. Now the whole company, including Gitanjali in HR, can see how unprofessional some of you behave on a daily basis. So keep it up guys. Keep spamming everyone and we’ll see who has the happiest holidays at Peebo. WE’LL SEE.
