Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML

Today, as my dad was handing me my Christmas gift, he pats me on the shoulder and says, "These were mine, hope you enjoy them as much as I did." Thinking it was something special of his he wanted to hand down to me, I quickly unwrapped the box only to find old 70's porn. Merry Christmas? FML

Today, I was at Wal-Mart where all the aisles had been moved. An elderly woman asked me where the pet products were, so I told her that I didn't know, but showed her where they could be. An hour later, she came back with security. She'd told them I'd purposefully gotten her lost. They threw me out. FML

Go to a higher up OP. Your boss shouldn't be blaming any screw ups on employees, instead he should take full responsibility.

Making your boss look good is always important. If she's a good manager, you may earn her trust by letting her blame you publicly, and talk about it with a wink and a nod behind closed doors. But if she was just attacking you in private, get out.

Screw that. If my boss screws up its on their own head, not mine. It doesn't matter if a boss is good or not. The boss needs to learn to take personal responsibility.

Its called saving-face and is a signature go-to move for bosses who aren't decent human beings. Sad that they do not realise how much respect for them you lose; because they are incapable of admitting their mistakes. Don't let it psychologically get you down. Tell a few close colleagues the truth and you'll feel better knowing the facts are out there.
