Let's see if I get fired in the near future by Rafiki 11/18/2015, 9:47am PST
I crashed a production line while troubleshooting a problem remotely. They had to scrap production and had an hour of lost time troubleshooting what went wrong. I didn't tell anyone it was my fault because I didn't realize there was a problem. At the time I thought maybe I had caused a problem, but I got no error feedback from what I was working on, the stuff I was troubleshooting was working OK, and nobody angrily called me or e-mailed me so I thought things were fine. Today I get an e-mail asking if I was dicking with the equipment because at the time I was sending out e-mails saying, "I think everything's fixed!," things were decidedly not fixed and completely broken. Whoops!

Now I'm waiting around for my boss to get back to his office so I can tell him why this business can't have nice things.

If I get shitcanned, how should I go out? Half Baked style? Guns blazing? Denying everything and blaming someone else/society?
