I think that's a slight exaggeration. There's nothing that constitutes gross misconduct in a cheeky email. It's most likely to be ignored, then perhaps a mild slap on the wrist, before even getting an official verbal warning. Then you've still got another warning to go before dismissal.

Or maybe I'm just too tolerant

It was to vent my frustrations at the admin manager who sends these emails constantly, she sends them on behalf of the MD without his knowledge, she is scheming and nasty and thinks the whole world is hers to rule, I feel better about things today, I can easilly ignore shirty emails like that.

TBH the MD would see the funny side tbh, hey ho, new day new start

I can't see much wrong with her email other than the use of block capitals as that just annoys me. Honestly, if I were you I'd just have a little giggle when she sends them and leave it at that. In private life, someone like that would annoy the hell out of me, but work is work. We are paid to be there and to do our jobs...you should have recieved training on new equipment, but she has no obligation to be overly nice to anyone...she's just getting her job done.

I can vouch for that. Our HR bod was a great laugh and I filled in a questionnaire she'd sent out to all managers with the word "fish" as a response to every item. Too late I realised I had hit reply to all. She thought it was hillarious and luckily so did all the other managers. T'would be just as easy to do it with a rant.

Indeed you are sir,
But also if she's as scheming as 6546516465145432165165064651321651351651651561651 suggests then she'll twist it when she tells it to the MD, added to which the MD will prob also think shes a bit a of witch and so will do most things just to keep her happy.
We've got similar members of staff here, the insane really do rule the asilem.

TBH this is quite a common sort of email to get if you work in an office, and I've also seen much worse in the past.

BUT why should it be? The same info could have been conveyed in a much more helpful and positive way, rather than being patronising and irritating to everyone.

IMHO it says a lot about the general attitudes and approaches in this country that we feel that this is normal. Have actually just come back from a trip to Oz, which reminded me how helpful, friendly and 'can do' people over there are generally compared to here. Am now seriously considering emigrating, primarily to escape the pompous jobsworths and general grumpiness that seems to prevail here...

Anyway there's no hope for you - you live in Leeds-ish. Some of us have a way out of this hellhole, and are going to take it!
