I clicked the wrong button and sent it with the mic drop. I just woke up to a very angry voicemail from her which is how I found out about this 'hilarious' prank."Īnd The Telegraph found a third angry user who claimed: "I just sent off an email with my resume to the first person who wanted to interview me in months. My boss took offense to the Mic Drop animation and assumed that I didn't reply to her because I thought her input was petty (hence the Mic Drop). There were corrections that needed to be made on my articles and I never received her replies. I inadvertently sent the email using the "Mic Drop" send button. I sent my articles to my boss and never heard back from her. I am a writer and had a deadline to meet. Meanwhile, Allan Pashby wrote: " Thanks to Mic Drop I just lost my job. I have been interviewing with this company for 3 months now and mistakenly sent the email directly to guess who? The HR! Why would you do that? I so want this job was due to start on Monday!" "This mic drop is perhaps the most stupid thing you could possibly come up with. One user, Abdus Salam, wrote that he had lost out on a potential job because of the GIF. Here's how the mic-drop GIF can look in a wildly inappropriate email: Google's product forums are full of furious users claiming they pressed the button by accident, often on important professional emails. Its placement directly next to the default Reply button - replacing the "Send and archive" button - meant it was easy to click by accident, especially if a user didn't understand what it was. Or maybe you just nailed it, and there's nothing more to say (bam)." Or those times when someone's seeking group approval, but your opinion is the only one that matters (amirite?). "Like those heated threads at work, when everyone's wrong except you (obviously). " Email's great, but sometimes you just wanna hit the eject button," Google wrote in a tongue-and-cheek blog post explaining its purpose. Using it would reply to the email, archive it - and also add a GIF of a "Despicable Me" minion dropping a mic. In Gmail, next to the standard "Reply" button, Google added a "Mic drop" button. Google has abruptly killed off one of its April Fools' Day "jokes" after it caused outrage online, with multiple people claiming that it lost them their jobs.
