'He crashed a $120,000 car': 20+ Workers who made expensive mistakes at work

Today, lets ponder how much money we've cost our employers throughout the years. I'm not talking about just taking long bathroom breaks, raiding the office kitchen's snack closet, or taking way more PTO than you're supposed to. I'm talking about the big mistakes. Those mishaps that send a cold shiver down your spine because uh oh… you're definitely going to get in huge trouble for what you just did! 

You totally know that feeling if you've ever dropped an expensive piece of equipment or gotten into a fender bender in a company vehicle. People can easily be fired for these kinds of things! 

A bunch of people below shared their amazing stories of the times they cost their workplaces a ton of money. Some people made mistakes that cost 6 or 7 figures, and yes, a lot of those people certainly did lose their jobs. Other people managed to sweet-talk their bosses into staying at their current jobs, or they figured out how to blame the problem on someone else. 

Next up, take a peek into the secrets that people are hiding from their coworkers, like one person who "googles everything my boss tells me to do… He thinks I'm a genius when actually I just learned how to do it."
