“Honey how was work?”
“I accidentally deleted several million dollars worth of work.”
“Oh.”

[bloodlust]

Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally delete a 500 million dollar project?

[alyssar]

I can't imagine the anxiety that the employee went through like imagine being responsible for that lmao

[abigailthompson]

The pure emotion in this story. You could make a movie about this adventure.

The unnamed Pixar employee was a spy for DreamWorks

I wish they *"accidentally"* deleted the Emoji movie files.

Edit: Yea, It was made by Sony. My bad, Seriously don't know why I even made this comment, lmao.

"Okay boss, we have some good and bad news. Which do you want first?"
-"Spit it out."
"Okay! So the good news is that we managed to clear up some extra space on the hard-drive we can use."
-"Right.. the bad?"
"We had to delete 90% of the movie to do it. Anyways-"

I feel Pixar’s pain, I once deleted my entire “homework” folder.

"Hey boss, don't get mad but... I might have just deleted a 500 million dollar project."

*Deletes million(s) dollar movie*


“Oh, I hate it when that happens!”

[GoogalyB]

“Who in the right mind wouldn’t backup the files to a $50, 000, 000 movie?”

FoodFight: *sweats nervously.*

[zerozone]

"All Toy Story 2 files get deleted."

Everybody: *_Ah shit, here we go again..._*

[choz]

When that girl finds the backup in her computer, I'd bet the first thing she did was to backup the backup..

[Nacalal]

And let that be a lesson, when that systems guy brings up his daily backup system and explains that it's actually really useful saving all 2TB of your system files once every 24 hours and making sure that's working right is genuinely a good use of his time, don't brush him off like he's some paranoid lunatic because he's the most sane man in the room.

"Drake!"
"Yeah Josh?"
"Where's the movie?"
"Right here in this folder"
"Go play it then!"
"Fine, I will" **click* - [file empty]
"Ohh I see the problem"
"OHH DO YAHH!?"

[srbarkerchan]

It's pretty crazy to think that one of the best sequels ever made almost became lost media.

[just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

*_Elon Musk buys and then deletes Toy Story_*

"Don't use Linux"

In a 2015 analysis, 96.3 percent of the top 1 million web servers are running Linux. It's not the viewers you need to worry about.

Okay but imagine being the frikking Employee who accidentily deleted the Files. Like I would DIE
