Company Mistakenly Fires All 1,300 Employees

A British company sent and email to all 1,300 employees lettign them kknow that they were fired, when the email was intended for only one worker.

Aviva Investors' human resources department realized its mistake and recalled the offending message 25 minutes later and soon afterwards sent out another email apologizing to staff for the error.

An email which was intended for a member of staff who was leaving today was accidentally sent to all Aviva Investors staff worldwide, a company spokesperson stated.

"People were pretty quickly aware of the fact that this was a mistake ... I don't believe any of our staff would have seen it really as anything other than the mistake that it was," the spokesperson added.

The email was a standard message sent to people leaving the company, covering things such as handing back company equipment and confidentiality rules.

It was reported weeks ago that Aviva would shed about 160 jobs in a cost-cutting move.

Zoo Keeper Killed by Lioness in South Africa

In South Africa, a zoo keeper was killed when a lioness pounced on him after security gates at Johannesburg Zoo's conservation farm were apparently left open.

Colleagues heard Joe Ramonetha, 63, screaming on Monday and rushed to help but it was too late, a spokeswoman said. He was declared dead on arrival at hospital.

Mr Ramonetha, who had four children, had worked at the zoo since 1970. He had either been feeding the 11-year-old lioness or cleaning out her enclosure at the farm in Parys, about 75 miles from Johannesburg, when the accident happened.
