How many Toms are there?!
Don’t you love stories that start out bad and end even worse? We do. This story starts with a coworker sending a love poem to a female coworker, the one telling this story. He sent it via his work email, which practically guarantees that the entire IT department was laughing at our Romeo (actually Tom).
This was quick to share her cringe with a friend of hers, also named Tom, also via email. She forgot that she CC’d the love-filled Tom in her email, and he got to read her hurtful response intended for someone else. That’s why offices shouldn’t hire more than one person with the same first name!
