 At least there's no aftertaste!  :D |

 I would, but then I work in government and you would pretty much have to admit to open murder to lose your job here.  Even then it would be a long union fought battle. |

 I have invented technology that has generated over $525M in revenue. When I managed the R&D team, we made all sorts of 'mistakes' along the way but this is all part of the learning process. |

 Not a ******* chance!!! Last company was a $4B organization and I miskeyed 4 cases of Gatorade during an inventory and was put on a 90 day "rehabilitative learning plan"... I went back into the inventory system and fixed the mistake sameday...was handsomely rewarded with written disciplinary warning. Place was unreal. |

 True, what I meant was that incompetence, regardless the degree, will not get you fired. |

 Good question.  I work in insurance.  It is possible to make a $1MM mistake daily.  In fact, it happens daily.  The good news is that we carry E&O to cover our screw ups and many of these screw ups simply never result in a loss. $1MM error? Probably survive it if it wasn't too stupid! Larry |

 My problem is if I made a million dollar mistake I probably killed a whole bunch of people. The kinda thing you probably never come back from. If there was no negligence just human error I would still have a job, probably wouldn't be able to do it though. | 
| 
 I can't get fired, but I'd probably have to forget retiring any time soon. |

 Big mistake........ Don't know about a $1M mistake, but back in the '80s a supervisor working for GTE made a $300K mistake and managed to keep his job. Don't think he got a raise for a couple of years, though! |
