    Kicked off site!

    A contractor got kicked off site here last week.

    He rolled out the wrong package to a bunch of servers. Unfortunately this one contained a reboot.

    Apparently brought down a bunch of banking systems for half an hour.

    Contract terminated on the spot.

    But for the grace of god and all that...

    Good job he only got terminated then.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

        Someone got let go here a couple of weeks back on the spot, don't think he was "up to scratch".

        Alarm bells started ringing when he walked past and said "nice working with you"...
