Today, I found out that after three years of telling my boss our strategy wasn't going to work, that I was right - it didn't work. I also found out that because it didn't work, I lost my job. My boss still has his. FML

Good riddance. Find a company that appreciates your input. Also, maybe try telling the upper management of the company next time. Good luck!

Being a whistle blower is a tough decision to make, you basically have to choose between your personal benefit and the company's. I salute your courage.

How is OP a whistleblower? As far as I can tell, he didn't call attention to illegal or incorrect practices of the company, he simply objected to the strategy of the company.

You should only post when sober, or not stupid.

Yeah never work for a boss that does not listen. You're the idiot if it works and you're then one at fault if it doesn't.

Sounds like enough of an idiot that he'll get himself fired sooner or later. Then you can have justice.

People like the OPs boss end up in upper management quickly. Idiots like keeping other idiots around them.

See if you can speak with one of the board members.

Out of curiosity, is there proof you informed your boss? If you still have date stamped emails showing you tried to warn him, I'd try for wrongful termination.

I hope you have a paper trail of the interaction between yourself and the boss.

Its an important life lesson. There is no fairness, no justice, no redemption in the workplace. The only way you can be relatively certain that you will keep your job is by being (a) someone coworkers like having around, (b) someone that addresses a need by the company and by your immediate supervisor, and (c) someone that is appreciated for a and b. OP - sorry you lost your job. It really sucks. But why did you stay in a job for 3 years when you knew what you were trying to accomplished was doomed? You had THREE YEARS to find another job that you could be successful in. THREE YEARS! YDI.
