"Ok, I'm getting fired for this" moment?
Week 50 Group Rant
dayo
9y

I had just started my new job and deleted 3 years of data that the client had spent over £450,000 collecting 😱

another developer used my PC to quickly access the clients database while I was out the room as I had sql management studio open. I went back to my PC thinking I was connected to my local database, did a few truncate tables to test my software and :0 minutes later I get a call asking why there was no data on the server!

Thank god for backups 😓

    the call to say something is wrong is so innocent. Little do they know of the potential catastrophe at hand.

    Use win+L to lock your workstation. That helps ;)

    This is why I lock my computer every time I walk away from it.
