So I emailed a guy in the company because he was listed as the owner of a software that someone was asking permission to install. Before I approve it, if I'm not familiar with the licensing on it, I reach out to the owner to see what they know.
I emailed him and his response is "Oh, contact Asset Management and this person".
I'm in Asset Management, and the name he gave me was the name of the coworker who's on maternity leave. Who is sending auto replies to contact me in her absence. Which he would have seen because he CC'ed her and the auto reply pops up when you CC someone sending auto replies.
Good grief.
