People make mistakes, that is not news to anyone here. People make mistakes in relationships, friendships, with family, at school, and yes, at work as well. You can't expect people to be completely perfect, and if you do, well, that is another mistake to throw in the mix.
The employee in this Reddit story has made a grave mistake on the job, and he owns up to it, even if it wasn't 100% his fault. The boss asked him to help with a task that was unrelated to OP's (original poster) job description, and OP agreed. While working on it, OP accidentally deleted extremely important data. Although OP could have easily blamed his boss for assigning him to this task, he owned up to the mistake. The only question left to answer is what is going to happen to OP now, as OP is positive this mistake is going to cost him his job.
