One of my startup jobs paid us through ADP. While our ADP account was being set up, my boss told us to be on the lookout for an email from them. So one day, I'm in the middle of programming something, and I check my email. Lo and behold, there is an email from ADP... or is it? It is about fifty words long and contains five grammatical errors. It's asking me to fill out the attached PDF and email it back. The PDF is asking for my full name, address, phone number, SSN, and so on. I figure this may be some kind of phishing attempt, so I ignore it and get back to my work. If it's real, I'll hear about it again, right? Well, two weeks later, my boss tells me amazedly, "Hey, Bill from ADP is still waiting for your information! Why didn't you reply to him?!?!" I laughed and told him why.

As a bonus, when I was finally put into the system, they managed to get my zip code, phone number, and SSN wrong. At ADP, quality is job zero.
