That's exactly what happened to me. I worked for a company with a large
operation in Florida and an equally large operation in London. The London
group screwed up BADLY to the tune of $75 million dollars.
The end result?
Everyone in Orlando got laid off, because it was easy to do.
Everyone in London, that caused the problem, kept their jobs.
