I work for a fairly large company (around 2,000 people in my local office). I often take my laptop home after work and am online late at night with my co-workers from Asia when they're starting their day.
Our company got a new HR system where employees can log vacation or sick time requests and view their payslips online. I'm online at home and accidentally clicked to "print payslip" and it goes to a massive printer in a shared office space. I thought about going in to the office at 10:00 PM in my PJs! I sent an email to a co-worker who starts their day before the crack of dawn and hope he doesn't make extra copies and spread it around the workplace. How embarrassing!
Have any of you ever done something similar? Like, OMG, I can't believe I just posted / printed / emailed that, and can't take it back!
PS: for those of you who say to cancel the print job.. it was one page and zipped through the queue so fast I couldn't cancel it.
Once, while doing something I shouldn't have been doing during the daytime, I accidentally unplugged power to a vital piece of equipment that caused 15,000 telephones to stop working at once during the busy part of the day. I was very very lucky to have not lost my job that day. It is still brought up years later as training of what not to do lol
Most wont care. But the real answer depends on who finds it and how your employer feels about salary information. Mine technically wants you to pick anything with personal information up immediately. Most coworkers I know if they found it would simply hold on to it and give it to you whe. You come in, perhaps with a friendly warning that you might want to watch what you print.
I could never understand what's the huge secret is over payroll amounts and how much you are paid. what you are paid is not indicative of what you are worth.
For my work I got paid $76,700 last year but that means nothing because what is important is I love what I do and what I do is a lot of fun for me. Many a weekend I actually look forward to Monday morning and going to work. How much is that worth?
Money isn't everything and in fact money is only a small part.
Who has never made a mistake or had a "oops!" moment? I’ve certainly had my share!
