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

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 was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I found out that I was being laid off via an email that wasn't even spell checked. FML
Today, I misspelled the word "failure" in front of all my co-workers. Now I'm not given any writing tasks. FML
Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. 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, my boss signed and sent me back my timesheet. He named the PDF file "Timeshit". Now I don't know whether he's terrible at spelling, or just expressed his view of my job. FML

Exactly. To add another point, most bosses wouldn't fire an employee for one typo; it had to have been multiple mistakes.... or the boss was looking for a reason to fire OP and his/her slip up of "you're vs your" did the trick.

He probably just didn't like you, so he found a stupid reason to fire you

I agree management are a bunch of morons. When I was placed on a home duty status the memo stated I was to make myself available for work at home by my supervisor. When I questioned what kind of work they might send me, they yelled at me and said I wasn't going to be sent work. I pointed out the paragraph in the memo and they shook their heads and said I won't get any work. They don't even know what is in their own memos.

I don't know what you just said in your story.

Does this mean that OP was actually fired? I mean, that company didn't exist, according to the name.
