Agreed. But I’d also fire him from this job.

Doesn't make sense. Their employer literally paid them to learn from their mistake.

Now, you think they should be fired? So that another employer rips the benefits of that learning experience.

"Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?"
