I would hardly call it your fuck up. You wanted to back up the data manually and were told not to - that's on your supervisor/boss/whoever called the shots. Not on you.
Your not wrong, and definitely not the first person to tell me that. But it still fucked with me for a while. There were a lot of really good people there, just trying to make there way. My actions, whether my fault or not, indirectly caused probably like 150+ people to lose their job, and that's on the day shift, idk if they even kept the night shift. I know it's not my fault, but like, I still feel a lil shitty about it, ya know. This was probably 6-7 years ago. Sense then I've learned my lesson and never ever keep my mouth shut and make sure I have all concerns documented. Ho boy has it saved my ass.
Did this guy just like... have critical company data not backed up, only on his laptop?
Yup, apparently that's exactly right lol. I was kinda green on that job so I didn't realize how wild that was. Thinking back on it, what the fuck?
