Fake, there's no way the sysadmin wouldn't throw the HR rep who signed the policy under the bus (without some CYA documentation prior).
- Oh, didn't the domain somesoftwarecorp.com give it away?
  
  Do I really need to put /s on my top comment..
CEO gets "randomly assigned" the name of a ww2 German politician... 💀
- FirstInitial LastName is common format. I knew someone named Aaron Ryan who got stuck with the email address “aryan@company.com”.
  
  Just one dot dividing the name would make it a lot better
- Hilbert Tlerston never stood a chance
  
  And that poor receptionist, Penelope Nisbet
- Hideo Lerch
  
  Ah yes, the famous Nazi leader Hidler.
- Adam Olfano? What about him?
Even if this is a joke, this is a great example of something that happens all the time: people avoiding responsibility by blaming some chunk of software. The electronic equivalent of "No, sir! I didn't kill that person. The butter knife did it!"
Please believe me lol
That happened
- You don’t know Some Software Corp and their world famous website somesoftwarecorp.com?
  
  The best part is that the URL isn't owned yet. Who wants http://somesoftwarecorp.com?
- Of course it didn't happen, it's a joke lol
Please believe me sounds like I don't know how to manually set emails. No way it cannot be done.
- Woosh
  
  Damn, I didn't notice that.
- I guess it cannot be done if their IT infrastructure was not designed with that use case in mind. Although I'm not familiar with human resource management software, I don't find this hard to believe at all.
  
  Also, you'll understand what Biron Tchaikovsky meant with "Please believe me" when you look at their email address. They already tried to do it, and probably complained many times before giving up.
The place I work at does something like this, and there was actually quite a bit of trouble when a second person with the same abbreviation joined. The responsible guy seriously suggested fireing the new guy because the policies didn't account for duplications.
Great
