What not to send to the ALL STAFF alias
A decade back, I worked for a big publishing company. They got a new wunderkind VP of HR, touted as being the force that would turn the company around. Since the company had gone from signing the biggest-selling (I didn't say good ...) English writer in the 1980s, to turning down a certain book about a certain young wizard, to signing the memoirs of a former city official for one of the biggest advances in history (it sold six copies in hardback), change was needed.

Well, you know those tiresome office gossip e-mails, laden with bad nicknames and innuendo about senior management? Wunderkind sent one of those to the entire company within days of starting. They then went on leave due to "stress" for four months, and were quietly replaced shortly thereafter.
