The buck stops here
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 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, 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

Oh darling, no!! No no no no!! NEVER correct your boss! You're just ASKING for unemployment when you do that! If they're higher up than you, they're always right, even when they're wrong!

Why are people assuming OP didn't do it in a respectful way? The OP might deserve it if he stood up and said 'No you ässhole!' and started screaming and such. On the other hand, if he just waited for his boss to finish and then said 'According to the figures here...' or 'If I am recalling from... correctly,...' I don't see the problem. What is he supposed to do, sit there while his boss lies to everyone?

bosses suck at dealing when they're wrong. I'm sure you could get your boss in trouble for firing you over that.

I read it as miss poke and was trying figure out what it meant.

This is one of things wrong with businesses. Everyone higher up immediately thinks they are better than everyone else just because they make a higher paycheck. Maybe if some of the managers actually gave a crap about what employees had to say, and especially when the boss says something wrong, then maybe some businesses would be a lot better off than they are right now.
