Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

when he said "your fired" you should have replied with "let me call my lawyer"

I was fired a few years back for saying something stupid also. Two different lawyers basically told me that a person can be fired for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all. As long as it is not age/sex/race/etc. discrimination, a lawsuit will go nowhere. Good luck with the job hunt!

I'm curious: what did you correct, and to what? The ways it's worded, this FML states the boss used the word "whom" incorrectly. Since the word is almost never used, I find this surprising. I'm wondering whether OP in fact "corrected" a correct usage to an incorrect one?

Some rather pompous people whom [sic.] should know better use it as an indiscriminate substitute for "who" in order to sound educated. It's becoming like "myself" in that respect.
