I worked for a company back around 1999 that used MS Access to do the entire companies payroll. Including the CEO. Once I was awoken at 1am because payroll wasn’t running. In my sleepiness I accidentally manually committed a few database values (that I had never touched before) that gave the executive team 0.00 paychecks. Not a single exec including the CEO noticed for about 6 weeks.
