My first week at a major fund company I was assigned to an internal business tool used by thousands. I noticed all the company email addresses in the sandbox weren't correct, so I ran a script to correct them. Cue a call from C-level to my boss asking why he got a "email changed notification". Followed by another.. And another.. And another...

I went out to lunch

was this really your fault then?

The "internal business tool" was a well known industry wide product that I had experience in. I should have known that changing an email address in any environment caused that new email address to be notified. It was my fault yes

We hired a DBA that put a read lock on a production database table and went out to lunch.
