Well, they did track back and tried pointing it back at him..but you know something really weird? The exact SAME time he was editing the crontab someone else was also editing it!! So this guy saved and exit and AFTER that the other guy quit and exit without saving! SO whatever changes he did the first time was overwritten and the fault was GENUINE. But to do that TWICE in two weeks!!!?? He wasn't fired but he left after 6 months of working, he didn't like the working culture there. They don't fire people for that, it was filed under "human-error"

He wasn't fired, was filed under "human error" because two people were editing it at a same time but the customer was duly compensated. This is just the kind of thing that happens on daily basis over there. He err'ed the first time I admit but I was suspicious when he err'ed again the following week.
