Let's be real here—it sounds like this manager is a little bit out of their depth. They're the kind of person who only ended up in a position of authority because they knew precisely which (two) cheek(s) to kiss—knowledge they applied regularly and with vigor.

In the email, they express embarrassment at the situation despite no reaction from the CEO that would have warranted this email's authorship. The CEO probably left embarrassed with himself for choosing that time to arrive. Damnit Donald, you've done it again; you've got to stop dropping into the branches when everyone's out to lunch.
Screenshots of the email ended up on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, posted there by Reddit user u/Flaky_Box_7482, one of the workers who received it. Readers lampooned the author of the email in the comments expressing their concern and outrage at the requests being made.
