'He manages to destroy more than $2 million in material': 20+ Employees and their coworkers who made giant mistakes at work

These people shared the biggest and funniest ways they've ever messed up at work. Maybe they didn't find it funny at the time, but looking back on your mistakes can be hilarious.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and some are much more serious than others. U/headtotoe asked people to tell about the worst mistakes they've ever made in the workplace. After a little bit of pushing from commenters, the OP shared the mistake that led them to ask the question. They wrote that at their data entry job at a newspaper, they input some wrong digits. In turn, their mistake trickled down to the mail carriers, who didn't have enough papers to give to each customer. Then, those customers got annoyed that they didn't get their newspaper subscription, and complained about it to the company. Then, the OP writes, they did it again the next day! It's impressive how one mistake can lead to a cascade of other things gone wrong.

These people who shared their stories below are from all types of industries, from waiting tables to working in IT to working in the legal field. Check out all the responses below, and next time you make a mistake, remember that someone else has definitely done something worse.
