Hey there,

Okay, I'm not supposed to be sharing... but I saw this thread this morning and immediately thought of you. 😭

If you've been waiting to stock up on your favorites, do it before management shuts us down.

Team,

We got a last-minute request for a Summer Black Friday Sale yesterday. We assumed this had been approved by finance since it came from your team?

Subject: did this go through finance?

Can someone explain why we're running a Summer Black Friday Sale?

The homepage says 30% OFF sitewide.

We joked about having Black Friday prices in the middle of summer during a meeting.

It was a joke.

Finance would never approve it. Why is this the first time I'm hearing about it?

Let's find out what happened and take it down ASAP.

DO NOT SEND THIS TO THE EMAIL LIST.
