Dear Sravani,
Things like this keep happening. Keep the things passed apart and further. Whenever you mail requesting feedback, just add one sentence "Request all team members who have sent the feedback to ignore this mail" at the end, which would solve the problem. Relax and focus on the future.
Good Luck.

Hi,
Initially, you made a mistake and you apologized because it was addressed to a senior member of the team. It should be acknowledged, as these are the senior individuals with whom you are going to work for a long time.
Secondly, you made a blunder. Once you had committed the mistake, why did you want to create a fuss out of it? There was no need to circulate the message to everyone that you made a mistake and wanted to accept it. It would not make a difference if you were to accept it in front of everyone. Instead, you repeatedly wanted to remind all these people that you had made a mistake.
Once you realized and apologized, that was sufficient for that moment. There is no need to keep showing it repeatedly to everyone.
All these situations indicate that you have less confidence in your work. You might have thought that this mistake would affect your career. Remember, we are all human, and we learn from our mistakes. Be prepared to face any situation, do not fear moving forward to handle any activity, and be confident.
Regards, Ankita

Hi Sravani,
You have explained the situation very well in the posting. My observations are as follows:
1. This incident cannot be termed as a mistake on your part; it is an error. Learning: to double-check the recipients while writing any email.
2. Reactions from the Annoyed Manager were unwarranted. Learning: At times, employees have the "knack" of making a mountain out of a molehill. Learn to deal with these kinds of reactions.
3. Writing an apology email marked to all. Learning: This could have been avoided; a personal one-on-one talk could have been better. This is a trivial matter; there is nothing to fret about. Be alert and active on the job. Manage your nerves better; it shall help you in all walks of life.
All the best!! I am sure you will do better. Cheer up...

First of all, the thumb rule is that you do not apologize in public. If you have to write such emails, keep in mind that you mention, "if already sent the feedback, please ignore this message." Whatever had to happen has happened, and do not feel guilty or embarrassed because of this. The important step is what learning you have extracted from this incident, and you do not repeat this again. Be confident... see how you can add value in whatever you do because this will help the organization as well as your own growth.
Forget the incident and move forward.

Dear Sravani,
Don't brood over this for too long. People will forget this in a few days. You don't have to be bothered about what other people say. Your actions will speak for you. Get over this quickly and relax. You seem to be very tense. We all learn from our mistakes.
All the best!

Hi Sravani,
Just take the learning from these transactions and move forward. As rightly said by Kuljit, you cannot satisfy everyone. People should appreciate the intention rather than asking questions.
BTW, did you manage to collect all the feedback? If not, just put your efforts on that than worrying about this.
Best Wishes,

Hi Sarvani,
I believe writing an email is just like "putting something up on a notice board." Your only mistake was to include those who should not be on the list of addressees, creating a complete mess. Everyone addressed felt some sort of humiliation as their mistake was made public. It aggravated the situation upon reminder, compelling them to revert back defensively.
My only suggestion is that whenever you email, keep in mind that you are "putting up a message on a notice board," and you will never make such a mistake.
Thanks,

Dear Sravani,
You seem to be worried about the incident. My suggestion to you is: don't dwell on what has happened and focus on the learning part - what the incident has taught you. Now, focus on your present role/task and enjoy the process. :)
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
