The worst you have &@$!ed up at work?

[Saint Nick]

I think I managed to screw up a system that manages truck drivers and DOT compliance. Could result my company in some hefty fines. Top that.

You?

126 weeks of unemployment. No, wait. You're getting fired. No $$ for you.

speced out wrong instruments and gave contractor wrong information on drawings. Change order happened. Cost: almost 500K. Yeah, I am surprised I am not canned.

That new slave tag around your neck ensures your "employment".

drove a fork lift into vertical I beam. Broke the lift, knocked me out. I got to install a lot of ice makers in fridges after that.

I can't top that because I'm not a fuck up like you.

iono. forgot to turn off the DI water rinse. I hit the 90 percent mark for our acid waste tank in 3 days. It typically lasts a little more than a week. Thank goodness the company wasn't in full production yet and it was R&D still. Facilities didn't do daily morning checks of their tank levels. So they couldn't verify that it was a weekend thing. HAHA.

WHOOPS. No one knewi t was me though.

I did it again for a night, although it wasn't really my fault. At that point my company was in manufacturing mode so a tech runs the tool, not me. Well, he sometimes asks me to shut it off if we run past the end of his shift (its really automated, so no one has to babysit it... just shut it off). Well, I left my laptop there one late afternoon while I went to pick up my mom from the hospital. I didnt' want to make it look like I was leaving at 430pm when I usually leave past 6 at least, if not closer to 7. Well, he thought I'd shut it off but obviously I didn't. I also thought he'd shut it off or at least ask me to take care of it (we usually communicate these things). I simply came back after taking care of my mom (probably past 6 which means the tech was gone by then), picked up my laptop and left. Miscommunication. Whoops. Not really a biggie though if you think about it.... running overnight is just putting out like 2 more 8 hr day shifts worth of waste. Better than that weekend I left it on in the first incident.

Not too bad because before I found out that there was really an issue, our EH&S guy already blamed some other engineer for some other tool. They got in a heated e-mail and involved my boss before I figured out "Wait... it was my tool that released extra water." I emailed out and implemented a plan to prevent this by training additional techs during the 2nd shift so they know that this tool should never be on past the time I leave. No one cared much because I guess people were pissed from being falsely accused already.

Made a code screw up that got deployed because the screw up was weird enough to get missed in testing. Caught it early enough and fixed the data errors fast enough that it cost the company only $400 instead of the almost $60k it could've.

Though like 2 months ago someone else on my team screwed up to the tune of I think $3million, so I feel like I didn't do a damn thing wrong.

Holy shit, is it really 126 weeks? I would LOVE that. It'd be a huge pay cut, but damn, I would use that money and travel for a long time.

I'm not sure it passed yet. Was 99 with the extension to 126. That was last month.

 

[Zargon]

99 is already insane!

I goofed some permissions so a whole OU couldnt get email through the spam firewall, lasted about 3 days before we figured it out

I wasnt allowed in AD for a few days after that

When I saw this thread title I was like wait, I know I responded to this thread. :hmm:

During my first job in fast food I fucked up all day every day I was getting sick of the bullshit and they weren't going to move me into the position I kept asking for.
Finally one day I just began greeting customers with, "Hello, how may I FUCK UP your order?" :twisted:

I backed into a company pickup truck after I had only been at the place for a month. Got out lucky on that one, for the truck anyway. As much as I hate GM, the Silverado is surprisingly resilient.
