Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. 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, I made it onto my boss's shit-list, after pointing out that he'd misspelled "customer" as "costumer" 6 times in his report, and "college education" as "collage education" twice. It'd be a dick move on his part even if making corrections like this weren't part of my damn job. FML
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 was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I was fired. For "lack of attention to details", specifically spelling errors. My now ex-boss misspelled the name of his own company on my severance agreement. 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 new boss lost his shit and flew into a ten minute rant against me about the "value of respect". He told me that if I wanted to stay in "his" company, I'd best start toeing the line. All this because I corrected his misuse of "your" and "you're" in one of his memos. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sue for wrongful termination

How many idiots are going to post this every time someone gets fired? The OP can't. A boss can fire you for any reason at all or for no reason at all. The only time you could sue for being fired is if you were fired because of discrimination.

That depends on where you are... The US does seem to get the majority of asshole bosses though and there protection varies from minimal to non-existent.

@66 Assuming OP is from the US, the individual states have different workplace termination laws.

Maybe your boss has an inferiority complex that you touched on! I would email him everyday with corrections to his grammar from conversations!
