@GossiTheDog "Project Dawn" as a name for a corporate doom program is a bit on the nose, no?

@GossiTheDog Alexa, draft an email to sack 30,000 staff.
OK, I have sent that email to all staff.

@GossiTheDog Ahhh... the "recall" function - or should otherwise be rebranded as the Streisand Button.
@Cyberoutsider @GossiTheDog I have seen the MS Outlook "recall email" button work exactly once, during a test of the functioning of a newly upgraded exchange server. I have never seen it work at any other time.

@muvlon @GossiTheDog exactly my thoughts. Are they aware they sound like that? Maybe they do it on purpose?

@GossiTheDog had a boss who had me yank a layoff email that went to employee prematurely. Problem solved there right?
Nah the dude liked to print emails too and printed this one. Accidentally sent the print job to her printer and didn't realize it.

@Cyberoutsider @GossiTheDog oh, and for context. 20+ years working in IT operations of one form or other. So I've seen it fail LOADS!

@Cyberoutsider @GossiTheDog “Joe Bloggs would like to recall this message “
“Yeah, I bet he would!”

@GossiTheDog Can you imagine the reaction if they’d done this in France?
