What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?
But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.
12 minutes or so in, they say "as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially." I thought "actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever", and finished the video intending to get on with my life.
My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. "HR have proven themselves to be fools!" "I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again." "Once again non-technical people talking out their asses."
HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
Wow, cool HR. Why did the engineers send their complaints to your inbox though?

"Reply all" button should only be available if you have completed the training on not using it for every email, and you have to renew it twice a year
In any discussion around Reply All I always think of https://redd.it/420oan
and also the podcast
Ah I see.
But did they use reply all to apologize to all the recipients about their email?
