Today, I found out that after three years of telling my boss our strategy wasn't going to work, that I was right - it didn't work. I also found out that because it didn't work, I lost my job. My boss still has his. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, after two and half years at my company and after recently being promoted, I was told by my boss the business doesn't feel it needs me, and invited me to find another job. FML
Today, I discovered my former boss from the job I quit 3 months is now my boss at my new job. He was the reason I quit my old job. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML

Good riddance. Find a company that appreciates your input. Also, maybe try telling the upper management of the company next time. Good luck!

We need more information. It is possible OP stated he was against the strategy and did not do his best to work through the situation. Sorry OP but if a strategy isn't the best and you disagree, if you do not commit to doing your best, even if you are right you will be seen as the problem for not being more helpful to their strategy. Again, this may not be the case and we still would need more information, but this is just some food for thought.

Now you can find a better job. You are free from your dipstick ex boss too!

That's the way it is. Those who should be held responsible, never actually are. It's basic physics - the law of gravity. Shit comes from the top, and falls on those underneath.

If you felt the strategy was wrong, you had three years to get out. Isn't it hard to put your best effort into something you think will fail? Also, I'm not saying it was right, but your boss has had three years of you nagging. You should have got yourself out instead of waiting for the crash. Good luck for the future

You should have spent part of those three years collecting evidence - perhaps getting stuff on file that attempts to mitigate your boss's clusterfuck without undermining him.

Why didn't you try to make it work? Saying it won't work is no excuse to do your job.
