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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, due to being stressed and overwhelmed by my tasks, I made a mistake and completed a few of my colleagues' tasks as well. When I informed my boss about it, he said that I did an outstanding job, but I shouldn't have messed with other people's documents. As a result, my promised raise is cancelled. FML
Today, I was happy because my co-worker was almost about to get fired due to his lazy habits. It was all going so well. Then I accidentally put my biggest sale yet under his name. FML
Today, there's a company I want to get a job at, and I've worked for a long time to get in. However, I realized that in the test task I'd been doing for almost a month, there was a small mistake in my calculations that makes all my results false. And, of course, I'd already sent this task to HR two days ago. FML
Today, I made a mistake at work that got seven people fired. I'm scared to leave the office because they're all outside. FML
Today, because I forgot to fill out a form, I accidentally held up payroll for the whole organization. Oops. FML
Today, I found out about a mistake I made at work when the director brought it up in an all-staff meeting, including staff from a different office. It was the first I time I'd heard about it - along with everyone else. Not as fun as it sounds. FML
Today, my co-workers and I have to fight for our jobs because of a mistake our managers made. They get to keep their jobs. FML
Today, I backed into an expensive SUV only minutes after my boss congratulated me for being the only employee to not wreck a company car. FML
Today, I misspelled the word "failure" in front of all my co-workers. Now I'm not given any writing tasks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

Nobody can tell if you are joking or clueless

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!

Well, what did you do?
