I am going to get fired today. I accidentally sent a shutdown loop to the entire company.

I am literally shaking at my desk. Management wanted all PCs to shut down at 8 PM to save power. I created a Group Policy Object (GPO) with a batch script that says shutdown /s /t 0. But I accidentally linked it to the root of the domain instead of the "Computers" folder, and I didn't set a time trigger. Now every single PC, including the Domain Controllers and the CEO's laptop shuts down instantly the second they boot up. The entire company is offline. I can't even keep the server on long enough to delete the GPO What do I do?!
