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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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....

One of my mates once sent the source code for a client's project to one of their competitors. There went almost m$1 in contracts. He somehow kept his job.

That bites OP. However, since you noticed the mistake go talk to the most understanding Manager you know and he can talk to the others on your behalf. Owning up before being found out will reinforce your integrity in their minds. Good luck.

shit happens, hopefully you don't get fired for it and can make up for the losses in other ways since you are obviously good at what you do.

Brings to mind the old saying "A thousand 'attaboys' can be wiped out by one 'awshit'. Good luck rebuilding your attaboys, OP!
