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. （點擊路透社網站查看原文）
