So wait a second. In Europe, it’s completely legal to sleep on the job, and if you screw up in a big way, costing a corporation millions of dollars, you can’t be fired.

Yet, if you fall asleep on the job while at the wheel of a train or a semi-tractor-trailer and kill a few people, you’re liable for millions and your life is ruined?

What the Hell sort of Mickey Mouse world do we live in?

So after you’ve been there 23 years and your salary and vacation time has ramped up, you get on the radar for job elimination. So they increase your workload until you make a mistake and then they can fire you.

But they could have just outsourced the job to China or India and that would be a lot cleaner.

It was the clerk’s supervisor who reviewed the transaction that was order reinstated.

I don’t see how this could happen by accident. I have seen what is necessary for a transaction to go thru in an American bank. You can’t fall asleep while putting in an amount and complete the transaction asleep. The conformation process is more than just pushing a key. This is Germany, knowing a little bit about their culture they seem like the complicated process types in general.
