Professionalism | The most mortifying work email exchanges

Sending emails is a core part of office life. Whether it's liaising with colleagues about work projects, conversing with clients or just generally communicating with people, employees utilise emails on a daily basis.

According to a study by The Radicati Group Inc between 2014 and 2018, the average office worker received around 90 emails per day and sent 40 business emails themselves. With employees responding to emails quicker and quicker and grappling to keep up with ‘always on’ cultures, mistakes are likely to slip in every so often. And this has created some very humiliating experiences for employees.

A recent Twitter thread revealed some of the most embarrassing email exchanges that will make you double-check everything before hitting send.

Twitter user @mo87mo87, whose real name is Maurice, explained that he sent an email and corrected the recipient after they replied incorrectly spelling his name “Mautice”.
