Today, my boss made me type up my own written warning, where I had to trash myself and describe my own "shocking incompetence". All the department heads are going to receive a copy of this. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I discovered a large number of errors at my new job, wrote them down, and took them to my boss. Later, a coworker had a shout at me, because he was "saving them" so he could drip feed them to the boss, and look like he was always catching mistakes. FML
Today, my boss chewed me out for correcting several spelling and grammar mistakes in one of his reports. The words "Think you're so damn smart, don't ya?" were uttered. I'm his secretary, and proofreading his shit is part of my job. FML
Today, my boss used our communal notebook to bitch out our entire department for not leaving a note notifying her that one of the machines was down. She wrote it on the same page as the note I left saying that one of the machines was down. FML
Today, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML
Today, I received a two-page letter/rant from my boss notifying me of my imminent dismissal, based on issues such as me "speaking in a suppressed voice." FML
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Today, my boss threw out the report I wrote for the board of directors. He said that if it were legal, he'd smash me in the balls with a brick for using Comic Sans. I had to do the whole thing again in another font with my coworkers snickering at me. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Whether this is an FML or a YDI depends strongly on whether or not you were in fact 'shockingly incompetent'.

What you do wrong - if anything - is confidential between your boss and you. I'm sorry he or she is acting this way and I hope you refused.

This is work place bullying and not ok. It's very unprofessional and should be discussed with your HR department

What an ass. Can you complain to HR?

Ignore his request as your 'incompetent' and write the best statements about yourself. Then when your boss complains. Tell him he should have written it himself the incompetent fool.

This is so stupid, I bet the department heads are going to laugh at him. Time to check what your society he's implemented against harassment. Good luck, OP, you DON'T deserve it !

That kind of humiliation your boss is putting you through is grounds to make a formal complaint to, at least, the HR departament. You could the most useless employee on the face of the earth and they'd still couldn't harrasss you the way they are harrassing you.
