Workers at investment firm Aviva Investors got a shock on Friday, when the company accidentally sent an email with leaving instructions, intended for one departing employee, to the entire worldwide staff of 1,300 people, Reuters reported.

The firm's human resources department realized its mistake and recalled the message 25 minutes later and soon afterwards sent out another email apologizing to staff for the error, company spokesman Paul Lockstone said.

Lockstone said he did not know why the intended recipient of the email was leaving the company.

Aviva Investors said in January it would shed around 160 jobs, about 12 percent of its global workforce. （点击路透社网站查看原文）

英公司意外“开掉”全体雇员

       据路透社报道，周五，英杰华投资公司的员工吃了一惊，因为该公司把本该发给一名离职员工的离职说明邮件意外地发给了全球所有的1300名员工。

       公司发言人保罗·洛克斯通说，公司的人力资源部门意识到犯了错，25分钟后召回了通知，随后又发了一封邮件，就此错误向全体员工道歉。

       洛克斯通说，他不清楚为什么邮件的原本收件人要离开公司。

       一月份，英杰华投资公司曾表示，将裁掉约160人，占其全球雇员总数的12%左右。
