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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, I was doing a presentation in front of my boss. On the last slide, someone had put a picture of a man's cock. I later found out it was my boss who did it. It was his "good reason" to fire me. 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, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, while trying to get my boss to reconsider laying off much of my department, I accidentally convinced him to lay me off too. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss - AKA Satan - told me I'd better watch out, because I'm now top on his list of people to lay off next time the company downsizes. All I did was give a report to the board admitting that our sales are down this year. He blames me for making him look bad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He isn't fit to be a boss, if he can't take responsibility for his own failures, he's going to get fired sooner or later.

I'm sorry OP. If they sign your payroll, you are basically their bitch it seems. I hope you find work soon.

Money is so horribly necessary.

Maybe they'll catch on when the next assistant gets blamed too.

If he's your ex boss it just proves shit floats. Try not to worry bout it too much. I'm sure there is a job where you'll find more respect.

You should have yelled out "you can't fire me, I QUIT!"

You can't quit, you need two weeks' notice before you can quit!

#26- Two weeks notice isn't necessary, people are allowed to quit on the spot. However, it looks bad for any future employment opportunities.

Not to mention quitting ruins any chance of collecting unemployment.

#4, aw, that's so cute! Throwing flunkeys under the bus is what they teach you in business school.

But higher-ups can fire the boss.

Sue for wrongful termination?

#4 clearly you've never read Dilbert. PHB syndrome is an epidemic

You'll find that most bosses all have one skill in common. They can bluff, and make themselves look good regardless of merit at the expense of someone else. Unfortunately, if you want to climb up the corporate ladder, chances are that you'll have to do the same. Play against your boss at his own game discreetly.

How? He got fired. If they believe the losses are his fault they won't re-hire him meaning he has no chance.

Like a BAWS! That's what it takes to be successful in business -- take the credit when good things happen and blame your subordinates for the failures. If this seems "wrong" or "unethical" to you, you'll always be a bottom-level cube monkey . . . like me.

I doubt it'll provide any solace but if he's going to act like a coward like that, sooner or later his tactics won't work and he'll get fired. He won't prosper. Good luck OP, hang in there!

Eventually he'll find his match and get fired too.

Just remember... What comes around goes around. He'll get his OP.

I thought that phrase was the other way around. Must be an east/west coast thing.

Psh! you should've thrown your hands in the air, yelled, "**** y'all bitches I'm out!!" and walked out of there.
