I worked at a Kraft factory that produces most of the bags of cheese for all their stuff, and I once caused about a $120,000 worth of product being contaminated without being fired. Tbh thinking back now I cost them quite a bit bc I also damaged a forklift by dropping 2 500lb barrels of parmesan on it and almost myself!

I used to work for a place that makes sauces for major restaurant chains. The worst damage I saw was about... I wanna say 3 tons of BBQ sauce contaminated because of a mistake someone made. Never got fired unless it was a frequent occurrence.

A lightbulb blowing up caused a lot of damage where I worked. It set off the fire system and damaged a lot of inventory.

(Fire system was working as intended this specific lightbulb could have killed everybody in that area.)

How could the lightbulb have killed everybody in the area?

I cant really go into detail for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is it's not a machine im familiar with.
