Sometimes that's called experience and the more of it one has obtained. The more opportunity one had for making mistakes. Normally you don't make the same mistake more than twice, especially when you have caused major damage. But that's the reason a company prefers someone with experience, so they will not have to pay for mistakes that an unexperienced person would make somewhere down the line. Although many companies are leaning towards trading experience for saving money.
If fired for making a mistake..... Most likely would result in employees concern with taking educated chances and stump their growing potential. Which is a lose - lose situation for the employee and company. The only constant is change and change constitutes mistakes. I for one, would rather have changes and grow and make some mistakes, then to stay stagnant and safe.
