The server monkey who installed the storage system for the VM cluster fucked up the setup and forgot to configure the secondary controller at all. This went unnoticed for a length of time (roughly two years iirc?) until the primary controller puked its guts out at 4 AM, at which point the storage system manager switched over to the secondary controller as intended. However, since the secondary controller was still in its factory default configuration, it happily went ahead and initialized the disk array for first time setup, instantly nuking the entire VM cluster and bringing down EVERYTHING, including networking services. It was basically a paid day off for everyone except the IT department which was absolutely on fire, eventually the server guys got the environment restored from the tapes but the day was well and truly ruined at that point.

i worked at a meat and fish counter at a safeway. it was just and endless fuckup, always had way too much fresh meat, we turned way more into dog food than we actually sold customers, the counter itself was an absolute mess, nobody ever cleaned them and underneath the ice you see every morning is a nasty soup of ancient flesh. it was just a neverending heap of bad sanitation practices and pitiful waste.

Wagie coworker accidentally mixed two different containers of clearcoat together because he thought one was the hardener. So when the clear was sprayed, it was unable to properly cure.

Caused about 30k in damage. Original 8k paint job was ruined, then everything needed 100 hours of cleanup and to be re-preped and then completely redone. Overall about 400 hours of shop labor lost and customer was beyond angry.

Coworker was paid $12 an hour and untrained my management so I don't blame him honestly.

When I was a private in the army I had ammo duty at the range. Normally you keep track of the numbers of rounds used but I got sent to go shoot and when I got back like 4 hours later the replacements hadn't kept track of anything. Normally wouldn't be my fault but I didn't count the number we started with so it was a whole thing. Looking back it was people running the range's fault for putting privates in charge of something like that and just assuming they'll know what they're doing.

some retard I worked with at a fast food place left the fryer drain open when he poured the oil back in after cleaning the fryer. 10 gallons of oil spilled all over the floor. same guy emptied the fryer to clean it another time but didn't turn the heat off...whole thing caught fire. in a panic to put out the fire this dumbass grabbed the bucket of oil and was about to throw it on the fire like it was water or something. I put a stop to it. probably saved that retards life.

I used to go smoke weed at lunch at one of my jobs where I would literally drug test people for new hire and random tests kek. Well this family friend came in and failed and lost his 6 fig job for weed I don’t know what or how it happened but I think I contaminated his urine somehow bcuz I tested him right after coming back from lunch. It was a lab pee test so I only did the collection process and I think particles fell into the cup. He got turbo fucked and still hasn’t recovered. Told nobody about that.

Then I had a friend who popped hot for meth on an instant pee test and I told him wtf dude but turned out zantac popped positive on those tests but I helped him out by swapping his sample for clean pee that I had saved in my car for myself (it had to go to a lab for verification of the meth positive)
Well, that clean pee sat in my glovebox for about a year and it disintegrated into a goo and the lab said wtf is this you did not pee in this cup this is just goo.

And then final story I got caught stealing my bosses dogs pain pills out of the bottle on the desk and got fired.

I got rich (relatively) few years after that so my idiocy was a blessing.

Nah I been in crypto since 2017 but I’m a degenerate high risk gambler so I’ve only made roughly 20-30K from it. I had 20k in Fantom in 2019 and I fucking sold it like an idiot.
My biggest gain was buying a mint condition vintage car that 4x’d. Roughly 60k gain. Home equity got me like 180k gained.

I was doing literal hell shifts 3pm to 7am as much as I could. I begged for overtime. Recently quit my job and started a business that’s grossing about 5k monthly right now so things are going good but it’s never enough I feel much unaccomplished still.

I interned at a military-industrial complex firm on a robotics project.
I made a controller for a 2 ton robot.
There were no testing simulators, got to test it one time on the field.
Right before final presentation randomly found out a bug that if power for the remote shuts off the last input keeps on looping.
The power button was at a retarded position so anyone could accidentally turn it off.
This could've easily resulted with someone dying or at least the robot driving through a fucking wall.

That same company is sending heavy hardware to Ukraine now.
They still don't have software simulators for their machines.

Worked in a meat market and got a visit from county health inspectors once. Apparently two people had gotten food poisoning in a two week span from the same product, both were hospitalized and one of them died. The item wasn't produced in-house and I never heard anything else about the incident after that, but I assume someone at the packing facility was fired and I'm sure the dead person's family was offered a settlement.

If the wagie has been at the company for like 5 years then it is much harder. It is one of the ONLY good parts about being a long term wagie. You can just coast and make firing you a longggg drawn out process that is too much effort for the higher ups to go through so they just accept you as the burden you are. It happens in small-mid level companies all of the time. Larger companies are a bit more ruthless but there is also less eyes on you so you can get away with doing even less.

Yeah it was always a mixed bag of who you got for your coworkers. Some were genuinely kind hearted people who were passionate about helping the youth then eventually got jaded(me), former foster youth and fuck ups who got their shit together, people who did/made drugs and occasionally fuck each other yet were somehow pretty good at the job, the jokester Mexicans who used to be gangbangers, those who tried to be military dads demanding respect and would yell at the kids pretty much getting them escalated, and the vets who are just really good at the job and are well liked.
I got lucky and worked with a group of guys that seemed like a bunch of class clowns yet were in the toughest house out of the agency. Work place politics were far away from us so we never had to deal with that bullshit, but at the same time it took forever for backup to come. I also worked with this one dude who revealed his power level and we would occasionally just say 4chan memes in front of others and the clients and they were none the wiser.

The owner of a company of 100ish people company bought out a smaller company that does similar work in the same industry but not exactly the same. The new owner pissed off everyone in the smaller company he bought out so every single one of them left within the span of about a year. Now the load of that company was transferred onto a few people from the company I worked for. Not knowing much about their products, or hardly anything about their customers and past projects inevitably made things things go bad. I'm pretty sure several projects got totally botched. The chaos and increased work load made several more people from the parent company quit. I would guess they probably lost pretty much all the value from the smaller company as well as a fair bit from the larger company.

I crashed a hot air balloon into a house and the gas bottles exploded soon after and blew up 2/3rd of the house while setting several neighboring gardens on fire.
Basically half the street looked like a nuclear hellfire after i came my way. Miraculously, nobody died. Just few light injuries, mostly among my passengers.

Thank god i didn't have to deal with the literal mountain of paperwork afterward. But my boss was super pissed.

for me? a nonprofit that my nonprofit works with, sort of our sister org, turned out to have been embezzling a fairly large ($200kish) grant from a national/para-governmental organization and using it to buy drugs, vacations and luxury goods
it was a big enough deal that i'm still dealing with the fallout in various ways 3 years later, not the least of which when i say to elected officials and law enforcement that i work with *name of org* they assume that i am using my nonprofit to sell drugs and steal government funds (i'm not)

jimmy john's deli slicer? that happened at the place i worked too. i also sliced my hand pretty good. deli slicers and mandolins are brutal. also every time we'd sharpen the bread knife, at least one person would slice their finger

saw a prep cook melt a rubber glove onto his hand with boiling oil once

2 or 3 ten gallon buckets of soup spilled when a table overturned and our drunk sous chef threatened the dish guy with a steak knife while having a nervous breakdown

methed out line cook with neck/face tattoos broke a kid's finger for ratting on him to the police when he got caught with weed

manager impregnated not one but two hostesses (ended up marrying one, the other manager ended up marrying the other, oddly enough they are all still together 15 years later and living a very wholesome life together, i think they even live on the same street)
alcoholic manager passed out in his office chair with his dick out and a pile of cocaine and bottle of whiskey on the desk in front of him

she refused to clear him for an approach at the well lit military airport with a functioning ILS because he was a 'civilian' and it wasn't 'allowed'

Someone found this massive dildo on the women’s toilet and it was covered in crusts - clearly used. Manager bagged it and locked it away. Obviously it then went missing. A few days later the incel IT guy came in with a rash on his face which turned into infected sores within a few days. He ended up in hospital for a month as the infection got worse and his teeth had to be pulled out. Turns out his infections were caused by three STIs which, realistically, could only have come from him deep throating the crusty dildo. Of more concern to me was who the infected wench was who’d left it there in the first place. Gums came back to work eventually (we gave him the new nickname “Gums” because he now had no teeth).

Hospital staff at a prestigious institution. Had the misfortune of treating a certain US Senator with an explosive temper. Her name around here is "Cuntbitch."

Anyway, Senator Cuntbitch comes in with a pink stressball every time she has a mildly uncomfortable procedure for a chronic condition. A few months ago, she had to be moved for radiology and the pink ball disappeared.

Bitch went on a nuclear tirade, attacked two nurses and a doctor, even threatened to call the President if we did not immediately pull people off floors to hunt every corner of a large hospital with hundreds of patients for her fucking ball.

Turns out she left it on the bathroom counter the entire time. She broke down wailing with relief when some lady found it and she was still cursing our names and blaming us for misplacing it. No one would ever believe this smiling soccer mom cunt is such an unstable lunatic behind the scenes. But she will be reelected again with 60% of the vote by the unsuspecting masses.

I work in usps and not too much. The mail trucks are pieces of shit and can pop from neutral to drive by themselves so mailmen have hopped out of their car and watched the trucks run into houses etc. watched a semi come in, hit three employees cars and run over a bunch of mail, drop off his amazon pallets, and leave. I didn’t say a thing besides take down his info. Dude looked like a gangbanger fresh from prison

I used to work in a warehouse that was boring as fuck so we used to play games with each other on the LLOPs (vehicles kinda like mini-forklifts you use to pick up pallets a few inches off the ground and drive around loading stuff on).

We used to play this game where you "pretend" someone hit you and drop your cardboard or cry out in pain or something. Anyway I got too close to one guy when playing one of these pranks and got actually ran over and my foot crushed.

I had no damage because my bones are strong and we had steel toe-caps on the shoes.

I flipped off some feminazi who everyone hated while driving out of work and a few months later and was fired. I honestly couldn't care less, many keks were had

Biggest fuckups I've ever seen were the people, not the accidents. In the painting world, there's no shortage of cartoon characters.

One guy got caught masturbating in a waffle house bathroom in a (redacted) Painting Inc t shirt.

Another robbed a bank in a (redacted) Painting Inc t shirt. Represent.

I remember working with a motherfucker named Corey (yes, he smoked meth, popped xanax, that sort of thing) who was literally missing all of his teeth except some molars and ONE fucking top tooth in the front. When he would laugh it looked like something straight out of an old slapstick cartoon. He was the right hand man of an old fart named David who had started smoking "that legal shit". "Zeeeeeeroooooo Gravityyyyyyy." Rode in the back of their clown van and tried some for the shits and giggles, made my face go numb and my brain go dumb. Not my cup of tea, personally.

Another guy shit himself at a convention center repaint and tracked it all over the fucking place (prob a good ole crackhead shit). Shit his pants, slung it all over the bathroom "cleaning himself up", had it all over his hands still and just running down his pants. The owner came in that day and witnessed the horror firsthand by shear luck. Oh and of course, the key part - shitpants was wearing the (redacted) Painting Inc t shirt. Reputation is everything in the construction world.

I guess one job fuckup I remember is in a bread factory production room. They wanted us to come in and repaint the safety ballards which were coated in a sticky ass, nasty goo of yeast dough which had accumulated from the air over the years. Naturally they expected us to "clean" them, so we went to town scraping and sanding the sticky shit. It wasnt long until the production line shut down due to the detection of an unusually high level of contaminants in the finished bread. We were then instructed not to sand anymore. So, naturally, we slapped some safety yellow on and GTFO. A job well done.

Was a support for ecommerce ops for a large consumer products manufacturer that also did first party retail sales too through their own site and other channels. We'd handle backend catalog and data issues and also front end customer facing issues for websites we sold on since we were direct to the back end for that and any generic customer service work was handled over in a call center instead.

I have never in my life seen someone torch so many customers and create negative brand equity that easily did not make their salary worth what they were saving giving a 10 year lead 50 cent raises every year. They ran their mouth one day and it wouldn't surprise me that I was almost making more base than what their OT rate would be (we were hourly but office workers)

This 'lady' would always be yelling during the day about how stupid people can be even though a majority of our returns were within reason and even then we could take a hit on the remaining few tough people if it meant making them happy

What would she do instead? She would never generate return labels even when that system was finally automated but some customers couldn't figure out the system right. She would demand they were to pay return shipping expenses. We were getting discounted rates already set up from a very large online retailer...

What would cost us $8-$15 for a large over sized return would easily cost people no less than $40-$50 retail shipping when they go to UPS/Fedex

If the customer really wanted to make things worse for us they would go to USPS who absolutely destroys you in expenses for large dimension items. Now it could be anywhere under $100 because of course they would send it USPS Priority

Time after time they would file chargebacks, blow up our communication lines, and of course, leave reviews detailing this part of the process

We would refund fully on the charge back and many times the inflated return cost. I'd be surprised if 3-5 customers didn't do this daily.

Trucker here. When I was a green horn on my first week solo some old timer hooked up to his trailer and only raised the landing gear about an inch before he took off, you should crank it as high as it goes just in case you hit any pot holes or hills. As I was leaving traffic was starting to back up near the on ramp to the highway, it turns out this boomer fuck hit a pot hole and the up hill on ramp and his trailer somehow popped out of his fifth wheel and hit a tanker truck carrying flammable materials causing a giant fire that left an imprint, which you were able to see even 2 years later, on the a support wall of the highway.

I had a job as a web dev for a bit. Was working on extending functionality in a legacy app, directly into prod because no deployment pipeline existed. Was a real simple task, just hooking the pieces up, but had a company quarterly meeting coming up that day, so I wanted to get it out quick. I had to insert some records into the db for them to show up in the configuration module which would show up on the users end. Realized I fucked up one of the flags on my insert, so typed up an UPDATE table SET flag=1... with no where clause. Table instantly corrupted, in prod, and the company meeting was literally 5 minutes later. Had to go to the company meeting, which lasted an hour or so, while that blown out table was doing god knows what on the client's end. Immediately came back from the meeting, copied the table state from a query set pre-update, and reset the table manually using server side code. Apparently nothing blew up too badly because no one in our department or customer support even noticed until I brought it up the day after lmao. Fun times, was sweating bullets that whole company meeting. Everytime the COO would mention how well the company was doing I would think to myself "shits probably completely shut down right now, clients are flaming and trying to blow up customer support which isnt there (due to meeting), and hes up there gloating about how great everything is" lmao

I worked at an airplane maintenance facility a couple of years ago. They were doing their annual sprinkler system and water suppression system testing. Usually it's just some computer tests to make sure that if a fire/smoke was detected the system will go off. Well those guys forgot to put the system into test mode, so as soon as they started the tests it set off every single sprinkler in the facility.
The hangar that houses the planes has a special fire suppresion system that mixes foam with the water, it helps put out jet fuel fires. Well, silver lining was that the pipes with the foam were so corroded from years of neglect that they burst from the pressure, so no foamy water in the hangar, just normal nasty rusty water. However, all 3 planes in that hangar had their windshields removed for maintenance, so the water got inside the cockpits and ruined every single device and all the avionics equipment. Nearly 3 million dollars in damage. Plus a week of cleaning and repairing the damage.

Another military story, Army. We went out to do our usual field exercise except this time when we took inventory we realized an SKL was missing. This is basically a fat "tablet" that holds cryptographic which encrypted our comms.

We got locked down for a solid 18 hours before they ended up finding it in some dude's rucksack. They were all checked earlier so idk how he didn't see it the first time, probably planted there. I don't remember the punishment since he was just a PFC and they couldn't really prove negligence or malice. Wasn't fun being held hostage those 18 hours tho.

It happened. Both the controller and the supervisor were eventually released from the airforce and collect full disability for "ptsd" and other emotional trauma they were affected by from watching the pilot die. They were found to be not at fault despite doing literally everything wrong.

Certainly the pilot was at fault also for departing into shit weather, but I will always seethe over that bullshit. The brain damaged sheboon had no business ever controlling aircraft in the first place and was so useless they kept her on mid and evening shifts where she couldn't fuck anything up. Or so they thought.

Actually it's not the only nigger related atc story I have. I've seen multiple near misses because of nigger stupidity, not that you would ever hear about it in the news since any monkey business gets swept under the rug.

On 7 November 2003, while Georgia was docked at Bangor, Washington, her C-4 Trident I missiles were offloaded. The process proceeded smoothly until tube number 16. When each tube was opened, a ladder was lowered into the tube so a sailor could climb down and attach a hoist to lift the missile. After attaching the hoist to the missile in tube 16, the sailor climbed out, and the crew took a break without removing the ladder. When they returned, they began to hoist the missile, pulling against the ladder and cutting a nine-inch (230 mm) hole in its nose cone. No radioactive material was released

tech stories are fun. This one happened to me fairly recently...
I'm a lead dev on a healthcare project that is a multi-client system that has a lot of sensitive data.
a less experience person edited permissions for one of our clients one day and gave all their users global access by mistake. so all their users were able to see other clients data.
it was easily corrected, but the client freaked out and considered it a data breach. I was brought into a call with this clients exec team and it was my job to reassure them and explain how none of their data was exposed to other clients.
5 minutes before the call I recreated the issue locally on my machine, but I had multiple tabs open...one of then being the prod site.
as the call started I realized I had actually made the change in prod and was scrambling to undo everything before anyone on the call realized they still had visibility outside their organization. nobody noticed and I was able to bullshit my way through the rest of the meeting.

IT was supposed to be the manufacturing job of the 21st century. Go in, do your monkey work, get paid a living wage, maybe move up as you learn. It should have been an easy job to get with almost no prereqs for entry-level positions and stupid amounts of those open to anyone willing to put on a suit and learn a MAC address from a Macintosh. A solid, stable, well-manned foundation for the myriad ways our lives touch the digital expanse.
But, Boomers and professionalization.
So, now the operation needs to be "lean", everyone involved needs to be previously-educated and the equivalent of "full stack" because there's no money for juniors and journeymen, and all the people who should be providing IT departments with slack are stuck doing bullshit busywork in HR and recruiting and front-end dev or waging or NEETing. Things break down constantly, and your only hope is Nate but he's at Further Confusion or Pride this weekend so you're (both) fucked.

Former mil here, they would have just arrested him for landing there, interrogated him, and let him go. There's a LOT of leeway for pilots having emergencies, and there's not a lot of classified shit lying around that you'd see as a pilot getting hustled away that you wouldn't see through a telescope camera lens or satellite imagery. Biggest concern would be an IED.

Hell if he was on approach without even notifying the base, they probably wouldn't have shot him down. Just let him land and then rush out to arrest him and secure the aircraft.

And the other guy who would have been hidden in the plane? It's an unknown unknowns thing, and as a brat who was CAC'd up for most of my 20s, I know that the US mil doesn't play about access clearance (you can ask the soldier who pointed an M4 at me when I tried to take a photo on Pentagon grounds).
I'm just saying, sucks for the pilot, but I'm sure the air traffic controller didn't have anything happen to her. She probably would have gotten in more trouble for clearing him to land without authorization, even if the incident was taken care of on the back end.

Downplaying it as 'just a job' doesn't magically nullify the fact you spend ~40 hours a week for ~50 years doing it. If you don't think it has any influence on you as a person then you are a lost cause. People will judge you by your job, not your income, because it's either an expression of what you enjoy doing or are willing to put up with. i.e. as a burger flipper you have 65 IQ or have no ambition, and as a programmer you're a dull nerd or also have no ambition.

IT was never going to be that in the 21st century because of the ubiquity of high speed LANs and broadband Internet. Almost anything IT needs to do to a machine, even installing an OS on bare hardware for many system types, can be done with scripting and automation over the network. At that point it's cheaper to pay one guy 2-3x as much to get the work done 10x faster. Why would any business ignore free money like that? It's also not the sort of thing unionization would have prevented because they would be bulk fired and replaced by software rather than people.

Depending on the job, its also the level of burnout we faced on an emotional level. Its how the vicious cycle in the system came to be. Think about any teacher you had back before you were an adult. Think of any of the teachers who were pricks or constantly over everyones shit and stopped giving a fuck. At some point in their life they were someone who wanted to make a positive impact in a child's life. Nobody goes into teaching for the pay and many of the rewards you get are from the lives you change. I dropped out of a masters program for school counseling partially because I could see some of the pitfalls many could fall into and I know myself well enough to where Id probably give up after a few years. It truly is a sunk cost fallacy that many teachers go into by staying in the profession while being so miserable for so long. Doesnt help that standardized testing made this worse by 10 fold

I was working at a big pharma company a couple of years ago. We were working on a vaccine and thought it was safe and effective. Now unknown deaths are up 40%. Oops, oh well, my bonus was great so it all worked out.
