The way a Laravel job knows if a jobs has failed is one of the following two:

A job throws an exception which is NOT caught, resulting in the command failing with a big red text in the cli. (e.g. throw new \RuntimeException('something went wrong');
A job returns an error statuscode (e.g. return -2;)
