Update: 'By the end of the day, they will not have an IT company': Nightmare client orders IT company to deliver 'any email addressed to me'

Be careful what you wish for… I'm sure this IT company's client was really regretful about the can of worms he opened. 

It helps to have a good sense of humor in the workplace, and it's especially useful while dealing with clients. Clients can be unpredictable. Some want to be completely hands-off, and let the firm they hired handle everything. They'll just be yes-men about any project as long as things are going well. Others want to be more involved and will ask for frequent updates. Then there are people who are just impossible to work with, like the dude in this poor IT workers' story. 

The client called up and he was upset that he wasn't getting his emails. That happens to us all from time to time, and it is a frustrating experience. When you're waiting on a time-sensitive email, and you've checked for it in every folder, you start to get impatient. In a world where lots of digital actions happen immediately, like sending a text, some emails still take a minute to travel to the other side of the interwebs.
