I haven't had any big mishaps myself, but I worked in a wafer fab and apparently the person who came in to replace me after I quit, dropped a whole box of wafers like a month into the job. Shit worth like $1M.

That said, massive fault on the company for a lack of better procedures handling those, and afaik the person didn't even lose the job as it was an honest accident.

I used to have a boss that told me you never fire the person who made that expensive accident because you know that's one person who will never make that mistake again.

Why would you waste that training budget?

Seriously, it's way more expensive to replace someone unless they really suck. It's best to invest in the people you have whenever possible.
