Guest Employee Of The Month

(My place of work hires a new assistant manager. Only recently, my manager has asked him to take over doing the employee rotas, as part of his job description. For ease, these are emailed to us so we know what we’re working ASAP.)

Coworker: “[My Name], have you seen this?”

Me: “Seen what?”

(My coworker points to an email he’s printed out for us. I go to read.)

Email: “Hi, [Workplace]. Sorry to bother you, but as I live elsewhere, I’m afraid I won’t be able to work your hotel rota over these two weeks. However, I am staying with you guys shortly!”

Me: “Huh?”

Coworker: “Look at the name.”

(I do, only to discover that the email detailing our rotas for the next two weeks was sent not to me, but to a prospective guest with a similar name. Seriously!)
