#and ofc I told my work bestie lol my hands were cold and sweaty when i was showing my screen ._. AND EVEN HAD A MEETING AFTER THE INCIDENT

[youtappedout]

y'all wanna read something crazy?

my company's finance team accidentally sent me an excel file copy of everyone's salaries. wild shit. like I can't believe it happened to me lol.

so we have this compliance test thing that we do annually and I'm one of the employees that hasn't answered it and since I wfh, I always try to set aside 30 mins to exercise and head straight to shower. that happened today. when I got back to my desk I saw this email that said 'compliance' on the file name, and so I downloaded it without fully opening it thinking it's a thorough reminder about answering the test. I clicked on the file preview (we use Outlook) without opening a new tab, and there I saw.. everything....

it had our CEO's salary, the VPs, software engineers, my team (I'm in marketing), and all shit like gov't contributions as well. I was sooo fucking taken aback by what I was seeing. the team member who sent it called me IMMEDIATELY and asked if I saw it and urged me to delete while showing my screen. she also tried to recall the email.

I felt soo bad for her because I can hear her voice in fear, cc'd in the email is our CEO too btw!! LIKE I'M THE ONLY NON-LEGAL AND FINANCE TEAM MEMBER IN THAT MAIL I JUST 😭😭😭 after that call I deleted the copy I downloaded earlier, even in my device. she called the second time to check my onedrive - to make sure nothing's been saved or whatever, she kept apologizing about having to call and ask me to show my screen which I'm totally fine with. I asked what happened and how'd she end up including my name, turns out there's someone else with the same first 3 letters as mine 😵‍💫

so yeah. it's fucking bonkers to see the amount discrepancies among people's salaries, no matter the job title, tenure, skillset and stuff. also in my country it's not really ideal to discuss salaries... hence why this is such a big deal to us and them. I'm still in shock and let me tell you, I think I can do better with what I'm making now to be honest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS SUCH AN EPIC END TO MY WEEK BYE!!!!!!!!!! ;-;
