Today, my boss lectured me on the evils of alcohol and how it was 'prohibited' during the 1980s. I said nothing because he hates being corrected. FML

Drunken lout

Today, I learned a co-worker called and awoke my boss at 3 a.m. to complain that I'd been "rude" to him. All I'd done was make a disapproving face because he'd been drinking and he was slobbering drunk, and wanted to charge his purchase to his employee account, a definite no-no when not on the clock.

Today, I got written up for not making a drink right. While getting yelled at by my boss, my co-worker made the drink the same exact way I made it. I pointed it out. My boss responded with, "He is allowed to because I like him, I don't like you." FML

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

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

As some FMLers already know, not too many people enjoy being corrected. Lol It sometimes seems that the ones that talk the most know the least. OP, you did the right thing in keeping quiet. Unless it effects your job, let your boss think what ever he wants.(:

What did you do to warrant such a lecture? If you're a drunk and it interfered with your job, YDI even if your boss is an idiot.

What, are you 7? Do you think anyone over 19 lived with dinosaurs? 31 years is NOT a long time. Especially for someone in a supervisory role. They were probably alive 31 years ago.
