Not A Good Day At The Office – Bank Employee Falls Asleep, Accidentally Transfers 222 Million Euros

A German bank employee fell asleep temporarily at his desk and ended up transferring millions of euro out of a bank account.

The employee dozed off at his desk but accidentally hit the number 2 far too many times, according to Digital Spy.

The man was supposed to be transferring €62.40 out of the account but didn't seem to get past the number 2.

AFP reported that the gentleman was carrying out the request when he "fell asleep for an instant, while pushing onto the number 2 key on the keyboard." The resulting transfer was €222,222,222.22.

The bank soon realised the mistake and corrected it.

However, the case was taken to court by the man's colleague who was fired after he missed the error.

He has since been reinstated in his job.
