I met a guy who was working as dba onsite for one of largest telco company in the world, he lasted 3 weeks .

This is the story him and his old collegues tole me:

"I accidently deleted 12 production databases because I was doing find . rm"

The customer director called his boss and said he doesnt want to see him again in his life.
