Managers at my company have been fired for less. A director was fired for charging his time on his timecard to the wrong account on the first offense.

I can almost guarantee this was that they officially fired him for, but there was probably much more going on before.

Time cards directly effect billing and payroll and on DoD projects can be a big deal. So if someone’s making changes that could actually fuck up your contract. Transposing the wrong letter in a word where the keys touch is a LOT less severe and it’s easy to show there wasn’t intent.

I've been working dod contracts for my whole career, making corrections is standard and billing has a lag to the government. Now intentional miss charging is the only thing I've seen someone get walked out for immediately. So I do agree it can be serious, I just doubt it was "one simple mistake and fired" especially for a director

Which is why I think OP can breathe a little. If the manager got fired it was more intentional than a typo.
