Feeling anxious after reporting a scam at my retail job and its potential consequences

Today, I experienced what I believe was a scam at my retail job, resulting in a loss of over $1000 for the company. I immediately notified my supervisors and am now waiting for their response. I'm feeling anxious about the possibility of being fired, although I hope that won’t be the case. Even if I manage to keep my job, I worry that my hours might be cut or that I could face some form of disciplinary action. I’ve been thinking a lot about the potential long-term effects of this incident. If I do get fired, I doubt I would be able to work at the same company again, but I’m also concerned about whether a negative reputation at one retailer could impact my chances of getting hired elsewhere in the future. I’m trying to gauge if I’m overreacting or if this is a legitimate concern. I’ve seen mixed opinions online about this situation. Some say that while I might be marked as ineligible for rehire at my current job, it shouldn’t follow me to other retailers. Others mentioned that in rare cases, retail workers who fall for scams might be called out in organized meetings, but that seems unlikely for my situation. Overall, I’m just trying to prepare for what might happen next.
