My first week on a new job I ran a DELETE query without (accidentally) selecting the WHERE clause. In Prod. I thought I was going to get fired on the spot, but my boss was a complete bro about it, and helped with data restore personally.
Everyone at that company was great both professionally and personally. It's the highlight of my 30+ year career.
Everyone's taken down prod at one point or another. If you haven't, then you haven't been working long enough.
