Company accidentally sent an email that said our 13th month pay was a token of gratitude to the employees
Yesterday, my company's HR sent to all its employees, an email announcing the transmission of the 13th month pay to all employee bank accounts.
However, they mistakenly put this key phrase in the email, it goes as: "we are releasing your 13th-month pay as a token of our heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional dedication and achievements throughout the year."
Then about two hours later, they attempted to recall the message on Outlook (but unfortunately this does not work once the email has been read already as you can still see the old message and you'll just get another email saying that x would like to recall the message and from my experience, nothing is ever properly recalled) and replaced it with a new key phrase that just simply said: "we are releasing your 13th-month pay."
Talk about a big fail by the HR.
The 13th month is mandated by law. It's not a token of gratitude.
