So back story I was as a qc tech for a water proofing and chemical welding company. We have multi million dollar sales and only 2 people in my department. Can you say high stress enviroment? I made a huge mistake passing a raw material that was something completely different. Since we work with hazordus chemicals this is huge no no. I really screwed up but luckily no one was hurt. With a mistake like that and putting someone's life in danger I had to be let go. I'm more upset with myself than anything else but I really was not happy at that job. I stressed myself into health problems and caused a lot of strain on my relationships because of it. And I'm trying to take this as a learning experience to slow down.

Tldr: was fired for being careless. But someone's life in danger, learning from my mistake

Oh, it's all water under the bridge now, right?

Passing raw materials is indeed bad. You have to chew it good so it will digest.

Sorry dude/dudette. There's always a silver lining, though. Bigger and better! Onward and upward!

It's weird seeing a fired-from-work story where the former employee isn't like "man, fuck them fuck that place" Good job owning your mistake

Some people like it raw OP. But you're right, it's always more dangerous that way. Hope you find a new job soon.

I like flying small airlines with 30 planes and only 3 mechanics. Helps them focus on their job and keeps fares low.
