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.

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.
