Damn that reminds of an incident from my past ~ I worked for a smallgoods company at the time ; the owner (read: dumbarse millionaire) never took a personal interest in the business, but concluded to improve profits, he'd have to get hands-on involved. We'd closed everything down, and washed the plant down for shutdown over the xmas break -- this owner had come to the plant boxing day, heard the refrigerator compressor running, and turned it off thinking we'd forgotten about it....when we got back to work a week and a half later, I was dry-reaching by the time I'd got through the front gate....about 10 tonnes of pork & beef had turned green in the fridge-room thanks to the hot Qld summer ; they had to pull the entire room down and replace all the insulation panels because you couldn't get rid of the smell...$150K and 2 weeks later, we could finally go back to work, but the whole debacle meant the company lost two national contracts, and half the employees were lain off a few months later....all because one grand idiot, turned off a switch to (his words) "save money" B^)
