Today, I made a small mistake, I admit, but my boss screamed at me that I’m completely useless and that if my uncle weren’t senior manager he’d fire me. I think he’s mistaken me for someone else, since I don’t have any uncles, but if I tell him that now, I actually believe he will fire me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my manager told me point blank if my uncle weren’t a senior manager he’d fire me. My uncle isn’t a senior manager because I don’t have any uncles, just two aunts, but I’m terrified that if I tell my manager then he’ll fire me. FML
Today, my boss shouted and screamed at me for my fuck ups that have humiliated the company and cost thousands to put right. It was only when he paused that I was able to tell him he had the wrong guy, he wanted my coworker down the hall. I’ve been here for four years and he still doesn’t know my name. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my boss and I dared him to fire me because he has always said he couldn’t run the shop without me. Turns out he was just being nice all this time, my job could in fact be done by his 14 year-old niece with no training in two thirds the time. Yes, he fired me. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML

Use the imaginary Uncle to your advantage, next time you don’t want to do something you can just threaten them with your fake Uncle Boss.

Eventually it’s all going to unravel when the truth comes out. Start looking for a new job now (without telling anyone connected to work). Then when you find a decent job give your notice and avoid the eventual blowup… If you try to use your nonexistent “uncle” it’s going to give your boss reason to confirm the truth of the situation. They may have you confused with someone else. Either way, the days are numbered…
