HR manager Krissy Bush accidentally inserted the addresses of 186 hopeful applicants into the CC field rather than BCC field of their email client. This lead to each of them discovering the other 185 disappointed individuals who had been declined.

The most amusing aspect of the entire mishap is the legal disclaimer inserted at the bottom of the email:
