Today, I made a fatal mistake that may cost my company thousands of dollars. This was right after I got a recognition for my outstanding work last week. FML

I guess it depends what kind of mistake you made. Should you have checked with a coworker to prevent it from occurring? Let's hope your achievements outweigh your mistake....

You probably won't be getting any more awards.

On the bright side, you're still able to type despite being fatally injured!

What does that have to do with anything, it's not like his company would hire a mafia to make a hit on him

maybe he's just making a joke about the misuse of 'fatal' since no-one died

I thought he meant that the mistake would be fatal to the company.

But 17, there's wasn't a misuse of fatal, I'm addition to death, it can mean leading to failure or disaster, I think the disaster one applies pretty well in most cases like this.

Thousands for a company a disaster? Maybe for a person or a small business, but I don't know any who refers to a small business as a company, typically a shop. Will they be angry sure but they will live.

Yeah, I think this FML needs a follow-up.

Yikes, that's never a fun situation. However on the bright side, if you're such a wonderful employee, it hopefully won't be as big an issue as you think, and your superiors will be at least a bit understanding. Good luck!
