I have a good one:

Give negative feedback in private email, then it gets forwarded to multiple layers of management behind your back, then a single quote from this email out of context is cut-n-pasted into your perf review few months later by management. (Happened in big advertising company that also runs search engine).



The lesson of course is not to lie in emails, but not to work with asshole managers.
