Today, my boss gave me a lecture accompanied with a formal warning because I failed to take notes during a client meeting. I was never at this client meeting, in fact, I had a call with another client at the same time. Regardless, he insists I was there and refuses to listen to reason. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. 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, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, while at an important meeting at work, I got to watch helplessly as a police officer gave me a parking meter ticket. Added to that my boss chewed me out for "never paying attention and staring out the window during meetings". FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me in front of the rest of the staff for "not following instructions" because I went to a company meeting. I have the email from him telling me to go to the meeting. He thinks I faked it. Unemployment sucks. FML
Today, at the office, my boss lectured me for being two minutes late for work, even though yesterday I worked on my lunch break because she needed my help. important to mention: my boss is my sister. FML
Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. 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

Bosses like that really make the work place toxic and are the reason why companies can have high employee turnover. Hope he changes or you find something better, OP. Best of luck.

Contest the warning. There should be records that prove you were doing your job elsewhere.

You need to contact HR to file a complaint and contest the warning. The only logical reason he would do this is probably to put blame on you for something he should have done. Either that or he's an idiot, but either way you're gonna have to get ahold of someone higher up to make sure your jobs safe from this yutz.

Well, I mean, he's not entirely wrong. Notes were not taken. Accuse him of gross negligence for not preventing the birth of Bin Laden, since this is clearly the logic by which he operates.

Does he show up to work drunk? My dad had an issue like this with a boss before, and the guy just never knew what was happening. Why? Because he was always drunk.

This is a set-up. Fight back now or it'll never end. See if you can get the phone records or their equivalent.

Sadly, some people's inflated egos prevent them from ever admitting fault.
