Three people who had the absolute worst days at work this week

Three people who had the absolute worst days at work this weekThree people who had the absolute worst days at work this weekSometimes you screw up at work, but perhaps its not as spectacular as these unfortunate employees whose mistakes this week were seen by millions of people. Here are two recent examples of the ultimate workfails.Timing is everything in HollywoodThe Oscars this year were notable for amix-upof epic proportions when the wrong Best Picture winner was announced.The excruciatingly awkward situation embarrassed a lot of people - including presenter Warren Beatty, host Jimmy Kimmel, and most of Hollywood - but it wasnt clear at first who was to blame.Now we know the disaster was down to twoPricewaterhouseCoopers accountants one who was distracted by tweeting backstage, and the other who froze rather than jump in to fix the mistake.The two accountants were stationed backstage to hand out the winning envelopes and make koranvers everything went smoothly. PwC partner Bria n Cullinan was waiting on the right side of the stage, with most of the celebrities, and PwC partner Martha Ruiz was on the left, according to TheWrap. Each was supposed to have memorized the winners to catch any mistakes during the broadcast.But they didnt.Things went wrong when Cullinan, busy tweeting backstage, accidentally gave presenter Warren Beatty an extra Best Actress envelope with Emma Stones name on it, which led his co-presenter Faye Dunaway to announce Stones film, La La Land, as the winner.Cullinan also reportedly tweeted about La La Land actress Emma Stone moments before the Best Picture winner was announced. Because Cullinan was distracted, Beatty never received the Best Picture envelope that said Moonlight was the winner.Cullinan was apparently so concerned that the day before, he asked what to do if the wrong winner was announced. The problem he didnt do it.To make things worse, Martha Ruiz, the other accountant, didnt notice the mistake even though she had the win ners memorized, and froze backstage, refused to go in front of millions of people to fix the mistake,Oscars stage manager Gary Natoli told TheWrap.The work of repairing the disaster fell to La Land Land producer Jordan Horowitz, whowas praised for showing some leadership.Im sure theyre very lovely people, but they just didnt have the disposition for thisYou need somebody whos going to be confident and unafraid, Natoli said.PwCapologized on Twitterand issued astatement.Cullinan and Ruiz wont be able to work the Oscars again, but will stay at the company- and have been given amped-up security because their personal details have been put on the Internet, PwC told NBC News.So La La Land was the official Best Picture at theOscarsuntil it wasnt. Thats a bad day at work that will go down in Hollywood history.Breaking part of the InternetWe all joke about breaking the internet - especially when a Kardashian is involved - but only one Amazon engineer can actually claim to have done it.The engineerssingle typodisrupted the Internet on Tuesday and took down major East Coast-based websites including Trello, Giphy, Slackand yes, Ladders.It all started when the Amazon Simple Storage billing system was having problems, and the company started checking it out,according to USA TODAY. To do that, an engineer had to take some s3 servers offline, according to USA Today.A wrong command input created a four-hour outage in Amazon Web Services cloud computing system.The situation escalated, with additional servers being taken offline than planned, including two used heavily by theEast Coast, according to USA Today.The company said it ismaking several changesto keep things like this from happening in the future in a statement, and it is running safety checks.Theres no word on what has happened to the engineer, but well guess it was perhaps that persons worst day of work.
