I think the first one if correct. The third one could be correct if you added the word been. "Some errors have been fixed."

You can say 'Some errors were fixed' when writing about something that took place some time ago.
If the event is more recent, you would say 'Some errors have been fixed'.
The expression using this verb is passive : 'to be fixed', so things 'are' , 'were' , 'have been' or 'had been' fixed.
The discussion with your co-workers [UK : colleagues] is a disagreement or debate, rather than a dispute, which would be something more protracted [long-term] and relate to something more important.

The correct sentence is "some errors were fixed" ^^
