  • mcarellastudio Michael (@mcarellastudio) reported

    @ElliottKaybooks @HBOMaxHelp you're taking this too seriously. it's unlikely anyone got in trouble. this kind of stuff happens all the time... and worse. everyone probably joked around about it for a bit. because that's what usually happens.

  • itsjustGary29 it's just Gary (@itsjustGary29) reported

    @hbomax i can't sign in, and not getting a password reset email

  • alanou Alan Oursland 🏳️‍⚧️ (@alanou) reported

    @JamesGunn @hbomax Integration tests are part of software development. They are generally longer automated tests that run nightly and test how multiple components work together. They generally send emails announcing success or failure. Someone put in the wrong email alias into the test runner.

  • kielsucks kielsucks (@kielsucks) reported

    @misfitmarceline @HBOMaxHelp If I had a dollar for every time I've broken production, I'd have a **** ton of dollars.

  • hirt Marcus Hirt (@hirt) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, When I was 15 I got the EPROM programming wrong for the security system of a customer. Luckily it was bad enough that it didn’t work at all. But there was a very embarrassing call afterwards. Also, I managed to recursively erase most of the disk of one of the devs.

  • VeryBentley Kirk Bentley (@VeryBentley) reported

    @lovevalgeisler So been there. It is OK @hbomax. Just think of all the awful stupid things brands have posted on social. That's much worse.

  • CasiLindsay The Real Lindsay (@CasiLindsay) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp When I was a manager I told all my new hires "there's nothing you can screw up that I can't help you fix, so never panic"

  • BennuSpaceRock Bennu (@BennuSpaceRock) reported

    @rakyll @HBOMaxHelp I figure if you do anything long enough you're one of two types of people: Those who admit the terrible screw up they did, or those who lie about it :D

  • EricNonymous Eric Nonymous (@EricNonymous) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear HBO, If the worst thing your intern did was get your company trending on Twitter and did so without breaking anything or causing you to get dunked on, consider hiring that person.

  • jeisensc John 🇺🇸🤓🤖🐕‍🦺💻📱 (@jeisensc) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m just grateful to see after all the recent problems that you are at least doing integration testing…

  • YarmoukZarqa Jay Zarqa 🌎⏰🔥 (@YarmoukZarqa) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Your intern isn't the problem. Your app is impossible to navigate without constantly having to reinstall it.

  • mike09875 Mikedavid (@mike09875) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Bullshit, I can't watch anything without it crashing after 5 minutes. You fixed nothing. I can't believe you charge 15 bucks a month and provide such a terrible platform

  • stephrc79 In Biden & Harris I Trust (@stephrc79) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, @Pixar once almost lost the entirety of TS2 after running a cmd in error & del the entire file sys, only to discover backup files been failing for a mo. Only rsn it was saved was bc the tech dir was having copies sent to her home after recently giving birth. U good.

  • ToriHortman_ Tori (@ToriHortman_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once sent out an email complaining about my computer problems to the entire company instead of only sending to the helpdesk. Mistakes are apart of your growth process! Plus this has been great marketing for HBO Max!

  • ngeshlew Lewis Kang'ethe Ngugi 🤙🏾 (@ngeshlew) reported

    @ChloeCondon @hbomax @LexRomanInc I could have sworn this was your work

  • JosefZiegler Josef Thee Ziegler (@JosefZiegler) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Fix your Roku app while you’re at it. It’s garbage and freezes nonstop or won’t play at all. I don’t experience this with any other of my apps

  • marisajk Marisa Smith (@marisajk) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, In my first month of a new job, I once scheduled an email to our entire customer database (millions) to throttle & send 30k/day. 2 hours later I find it's sending 30k/HOUR. AND, the main link was broken. I got it shut off, but had a lot of cleanup to do! It happens!

  • jessicahalem Jessica Halem, MBA 🌈 (@jessicahalem) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once answered a right-wing reporter's questions about my very famous boss without any idea how these things work like that I would be quoted or that the outlet was trying to hurt my boss so when the article came out very important people said I should be fired.

  • samziz Sam R-A (@samziz) reported

    @tharaxis @ochronus @HBOMaxHelp Don’t fret it, Eng Twitter responds like this to every incident tweet where anyone so much as utters the words “a human being on our team had some involvement”, rather than “we have terrible processes, and on Monday, this incident simply _materialised_ much like the Big Bang 👻”.

  • JCOBrien42 John O'Brien (@JCOBrien42) reported

    hey @hbomax, maybe if your interface wasn't the worst of all streaming services you'd have greater retention.

  • jamaderna Josette A. Maderna (@jamaderna) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, It wasn't so bad. At least you never ran chmod -R a-rwX directory/ at level one in Unix. Your error was recoverable. Signed, Someone who didn't lose their job and still managed to become the CFO

  • kathylix katherine (@kathylix) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once had a manager who sent an email asking HR for the final paperwork for the termination of an employee. She didn’t realized she had replied all. He deleted all the documents off his work computer causing the company thousands before being terminated.

  • lavalight alex (@lavalight) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, It gets better. I’ve taken down ****…*counts on fingers* too many times. The worst was right before demoing a new website to a client. You’re doing great, don’t worry! Sincerely, Experienced tech who has definitely flubbed up many times.

  • cohen1232 Donna Cohen (@cohen1232) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, I worked for a Mutual Fund company a few years out of college in the ‘80s. As a Sociology major I was clueless about technology. I managed to crash the accounting system and the prices weren’t able to be printed in the paper that night. I may have done it twice…😳

  • jcdyer Federico García La Orca (@jcdyer) reported

    @EmmanuelThompz @HBOMaxHelp Companies that hire interns then blame them for problems above their pay grade make me sad. Is that wrong?

  • pamelafox Pamela Fox (@pamelafox) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I nearly took down the Google servers on Christmas eve with a GIF of animated sparkles. (Look, ma, no cache headers!)

  • igelman Eye-popping (@igelman) reported

    @andrenaleen @HBOMaxHelp There's two possibilities. 1. It really was the intern, in which case this tweet identify them. Publicly & directly blaming them for a systemic problem (and not like only HBOMax has them)

  • marisajk Marisa Smith (@marisajk) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, In my 1st month of a new job, I once scheduled an email to our entire customer database (millions) to throttle & send to 30k/day. 2 hours later I find it's sending 30k/HOUR. AND the main link was broken. I got it shut off, but had a lot of cleanup to do! It happens!

  • meth_alia Älia **** 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@meth_alia) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, you deserved to be paid a living wage. They’re forcing you to work for less pay or no pay, go to school, and struggle to afford anything if you’re not the child of a rich kid when they’re a billion dollar company. They owe you far more than a nice statement

  • harsh_critic James morrison (@harsh_critic) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Look....just fix your ****** app & we'll call it even.
