On the gitlab incident livestream description on youtube I noticed this:

"No, nobody was fired"

Yeah right. They probably beat him, raped him, burned him, crucified him, raped him again. But no there were no firing involved.

C'mon - pretty much every sysadmin has been there..

Post link.

People that has done that kind of mistake is the only people that will never do it again.

No successful company fires employees for something like the GitLab meltdown. People don't learn anything if they don't make mistakes, and a company that doesn't get that goes out of business. It is almost guaranteed that particular Sys Admin will be a whole lot more cautious in the future, and therefore a much more valuable employee.

@theZorgEffect

I am not saying they should so all these. I am saying there is no way he got off so easy.

@Catdow that person is also the one who saved a lot of data due to making a manual backup hours before. They wouldn't have noticed that the backup system wasn't working due to another new problem so next to admitting it wasn't smart at all, they also said they're thankful that he saved a lot of data.

Can somebody please post the link?I can't find it

@Catdow source please OP.
