I don't believe that its a matter of "first error" but what the error
was.
This was your argument for most of this thread. Good to see you
abandon it.
Even so, I'm glad I never worked in the same group or even company
as you. I would have left as soon as possible once I understood
there was no room for human error.
Mark,
As I stated before errors are OK just as long as they don't hurt. Now
the question comes in degrees of HURT.
BTW I agreed in someways about errors and any decision to fire
person to a degree. It was essentially (to me) how bad was the
command and if it did any damage. I know of one time an operator
typed in quiesce and it did exactly what it was supposed to do put
the system in a wait state. Did it cause damage no (unless you
count response time) that to me was a tossup but it did impact
several hundred data entry types and 100 or so programmers. Was he
fired? NO but he was talked to rather sharply. Did he screw up again,
nope. Lesson learned.
Ed
