A German court explained why a bank does not have the right to fire an employee who accidentally confirmed a transfer of 222 million euros
One of the employees of a German bank fell asleep at work and mistakenly sent the client 222 million euros instead of 64. According to foreign media reports, in Germany a clerk was supposed to transfer 64.2 euros, but fell asleep at his workplace, accidentally pressing the “2” key, which led to the transfer of 222,222,222.22 euros to the client. The manager, whose duties included monitoring the work of the subordinate, including ensuring that he was awake, approved the operation.
