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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
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 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
Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. 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 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 reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML

Sometimes you have to watch people fail on their own. If you try to help them, they just use you as a scapegoat for their ignorance.

It sucks when people higher up think they know everything when they know nothing. Try not to worry too much, once she cools off she'll realize her mistake. Hopefully!

It's obviously your fault because if a woman knows what she's talking about she doesn't you to mansplain it to/for her.

It probably wasn't your place to correct her like that, and subsequently embarrass her "in front of" a client. I would've been pissed off too.

If you don't know the answer you tell the client that you will get back to them. Frankly I'd say that attitude indicates that as a boss you value your fragile overly inflated ego over providing good service to your customers and it's a sign that you are a poor manager. There are a lot of details we don't know from OP's story. It's often possible to correct your boss in a way that is not embarrassing. As a manager. Your job is to be up to speed on the project details before a conference call. The reason you have employees on the project in the room with you is so they can answer any questions on aspects of the project they are more familiar with.

You should have shut up and let the bitch drown in her own incompetence.

The company means your boss is not at the top. You can simply say she would not let you be in the office during the conference call, and maybe the client will back you up. The company will fire her, and not you for her stupidity.

I wonder how much screaming she's going to do when she's fired after you report her to the higher ups? :)

Ultimately if she had been prepared this would not happen. Report this behaviour to her boss or HR if she dares to yell at you again. Thank you European Employment Laws which protect employees from those horrible bosses!
