When one mistake isn't quite good enough.
02/11/07 16:53 Filed in: Personal
Just before lunch I got an email from an IT agency touting for staff to work a Liverpool contract. I wasn't interested. I also wasn't to impressed with the fact the agent, from Allegis Group, instead of sending a mass mailing to multiple SINGLE recipients he just simply created a 91 address to list and sent a single email.
Now sending an email in a single company in this fashion isn't a problem. But the problem is that this was a permanent role and the other 90 recipients would presumably be people looking for a new job.
It was a poor mistake to make and certainly somebody with more time and experience in the business wouldn't have made it. But to compound matters we have a couple of real brain aches who take it upon themselves to put things right.

Hello Paul,
I think it very unproffessional of you to include my email address with a mass email send. This both shows other people that i could be looking for work and shows me that they are. I am sure you could create an alias and put all the emails beneath this.
Apologies at the start of the email are not good enough!! It's like saying, sorry for punching you in the face and then punching me in the face!! The act has already been done before being able to respond to it.
Please remove me from your email list and do not include me in future correspondence.
Regards
Scott Crichton
I think the punching in the face analogy was totally pathetic. Just because you received this email DOES NOT mean you are looking for work. You could have been signed up with the agency years ago and it was sent in error.
Worse was to come. In fact, it was so bad I'm even considering publishing his email address.

I suggest you start looking for another job as your f**king techinical incompetence is legendary. You have provided everyone on the list a nice little contact file for people looking for work.
DO NOT SEND ME ANY FURTHER EMAILS from Allegis or I will contact your ISP and ensure your domain is blacklisted for sending stupid f**king spam mails out en-mass complete with my details to other people.
F**k Off!
Thanks
Why am I so annoyed at this jerk and his predecessor? Because both these idiots replied to EVERYBODY when they complained. I don't think for one minute it was an accident. Clearly they wanted everybody to know how clever they were being. So clever, in fact, that if they were concerned about being "found out" about looking for a new job, they compounded that problem twice over.
Quit why Jamie felt it necessary to swear (and lets face it, we all know what he meant) in an email to 90 other complete strangers is beyond me. May I suggest that Jamie drink de-cafe from now on.
You'll be glad to know I didn't join the 'round robin' of moaning by replying to either of them.
