People Tweet Their Worst Work Mistakes, Consoling HBOMax Intern

Over the weekend, a lot of people, well, actually millions of people., received an odd email from HBOMax. Unfortunately, there were no juicy details revealed. The message didn't say much but clearly appeared to be some kind of mistake. Although it wasn't such a big deal, it didn't take long for people to post about the random message on Twitter.

    Remember how we said the email wasn't anything spectacular, well, here it is. Nobody appeared angered by the message, people just seemed caught off guard. It's pretty entertaining when big businesses make harmless mistakes anyway.

    Font - НВОМахHelp @HBOMaxHelp HBO max HELP We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really. And we're helping them through it. 5:21 AM · Jun 18, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    The real tea was stirred when @HBOMaxHelp finally explained the situation. They wrote that it was a mistake, which most people had already gathered, but they also included who made that mistake... the intern.

    This caused hundreds of messages to come flooding in, in an attempt to console that very intern. It was quite wholesome actually.

I thought l'd be fired but boss restored the folder from a backup and told my me that if I could have deleted everyone's work that would've been on the company, not me! 6:35 PM · Jun 18, 2021 · Twitter Web App

    Font - JBD ヤナドガン @rakyll ... Replying to @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, It's ok. I dropped a prod database when I was a senior engineer. These things happen more often than you might think. Building good systems is about having resilience against human mistakes. Because we, humans, always make mistakes.

    Font - José Carlos Chávez @jcchavezs Replying to @rakyll and @HBOMaxHelp As an intern I dropped a table in a prod database. I decided to resign immediately, packed up my stuff and went to tell my boss. She was talking to the CEO of the company so got terrified and went back to my spot to find out connection expired before it could run. 8:51 AM · Jun 18, 2021 · Twitter Web App

    Font - Daenney @daenney Replying to @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once globally took down Spotify. It almost happened twice. My team was awesome about it and I'm still here. You managed to find something broken in the way integration tests are done. It's a good thing and will help improve things. Good luck <3.

A change which required them to restore the database from a backup. This was during my first week. 5:30 PM · Jun 18, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Dan Healey @StupidFeet76 Replying to @HBOMaxHelp Hi Intern- I used to work for a non-profit with a .org web address. I pulled up our website during an important meeting but accidentally typed .com. Turns out the .com rerouted to a porn site, which was shared with all the meeting attendees. Learned some lessons that day... 11:00 PM · Jun 18, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone
