Today, my boss yelled at me for ruining the report she was supposed to write with my "terrible spelling and grammar". I've checked it thoroughly, and all of her 'corrections' are wrong. She doesn’t believe me, and is refusing to look at a dictionary. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. FML
Today, my boss asked me to send an email on his behalf with an important report attached. I've already received 3 responses from directors commenting on poor spelling and factual errors. I get paid 1/4 the salary of my boss and he can't even write properly. FML
Today, my supervisor’s first words when looking at my work were, “What is this shit?!” I explained that I'd done it exactly like she told me to. She just kept on grumbling because she couldn’t find a single thing I had done wrong, which apparently ruined her day. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, I had to proofread a document my boss had written. When I pointed out that he spelled "college" as "collage" multiple times, he angrily accused me of trying to make him look stupid. This is the guy who constantly boasts about his "genius" IQ level to the whole office. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss and I were preparing a lunch order for a nearby real-estate agency. I noticed that the order was riddled with spelling mistakes, so I laughed and mocked the realtors, calling them stupid and incompetent. My boss then pointed out that the order was written in his handwriting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How do people like that become bosses? It seems like the people with kindergarten educations get the best jobs and everyone else has to go to university for multiple years just to start of at the bottom of the food chain in their job.

Let her turn it in her way. Keep your name off it, and let her learn her lesson. Stupid is as stupid does.

It's possible that this actually has nothing to do with you, and maybe something just crawled up her ass and died. What a C-word.

Well no point in arguing with the boss. Let him or her turn it in the way it is, you've already done your part.

You should e-mail her a 'Word of the Day' everyday and use one of the words she won't correct, for every day.

Maybe OP's boss is american, and has recently came to US and thus she thought that OP's british english is wrong? Just a thought...

You do realize that doesn't make sense, right?

Makes lots of sense. There are many different terms and spellings between American and British English. Think before you make a stupid comment.
A7X_LoVeee 10
Yes, I know there are different terms/spellings between the two. That's not what I was referring to but thanks anyway.

ALSO there is no such thing as British or American English; English is a language, however there are different pronunciations and spelling.

That makes alot of sense, the people who thumbed me down were just too stupid to get that.

ZZ you are aware that you said "Maybe OP's boss Is an American who's just come to the U.S" right? You're the idiot.

Actually ZZ, it's called two mistakes - alot is not a word. Try 'a lot'. ZZ - are you the asshole boss OP is referring to?
