I'm with everyone else in this thread: you screwed up but in reality it is EXPECTED.
Do you know why I have backups? Because I'm not perfect and I know one day I will screw up and somehow drop the production database. Or mess up a migration. Or someone else will. This is stuff that happens ALL THE TIME.
Your CEO/CTO should have been fired instead. It is up to the leadership to ensure that proper safeguards are in place to avoid these difficult conversations.
