This happened today and I still feel sick to my stomach. I was messing around with a coworker over an email like joking about some stuff and saying a few things about other coworkers that were definitely not appropriate to put in writing. It was meant to be private between us like nothing crazy just dumb office jokes. At one point I meant to hit reply but instead hit “reply all” to the original thread which included the entire team and several managers. The email had some not so nice remarks about certain people from our company. I didn’t realize until I started seeing responses come in everything from “I think this was meant for one person” to total silence from higher ups. I tried to recall the message but obviously it was too late. My manager called me almost immediately for a “conversation” and while they didn’t outright say I’m in trouble I could tell this is serious. I feel like I might have just tanked my reputation here completely and maybe even my job.

The worst part is knowing that people I work with every day now know exactly what I think about them. Some comments were definitely crossing lines.

TLDR Accidentally sent private email making inappropriate jokes about coworkers to entire company instead of one person. Now facing potential career consequences.
