Facebook had a global outage recently, for many hours. Did anyone lose his job for it?
Outages happen, there’s no reason for anyone to get fired unless it was intentional.
Or, it happens unintentionally twice?
I heard that FB has a 3 strike system. Not sure if that's still around but I'd image this would be one strike.
I don't believe so. What a company need is a post mortem and how to prevent similar situations from happening. Not firing some dude. At least it's what google does. After every big/small outage, there are detailed post mortem, but never heard any one got fired.
We often cite high quality post mortems in promotion docs at Amazon.
Companies build reliable systems by encouraging people to be honest about what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. Firing people for outages is counterproductive, because it encourages people to hide problems, which causes more outages
