Bug in the new point-of-sale software that the managers couldn't fix caused a small (under $200) sale to not process correctly. Was terminated for money mismanagement. Mgmt was so incompetent that they lost one of their best sellers, and ended up paying me unemployment through the lockdown because they couldn't defend the termination to the unemployment office.
Sounds like an issue with the testing team really...
Bold to assume that important software gets tested...
All software gets tested. Some is just tested before release.
I can't even begin to justify that even if you were the one to write the bug in the first place.
If it wasn't clear, we were the retail users of the software. I was the one making the sale and taking the payment.
Which makes it even more absurd
