Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML

How dare you not watch over your bosses shoulder and do his job for him! Shame on you OP! On a serious note, either find another job, or if you work for a corporation try going to a higher up. Good luck!

Its called saving-face and is a signature go-to move for bosses who aren't decent human beings. Sad that they do not realise how much respect for them you lose; because they are incapable of admitting their mistakes. Don't let it psychologically get you down. Tell a few close colleagues the truth and you'll feel better knowing the facts are out there.

This is what shitty bosses do; they take credit for their subordinate's accomplishments & blame the subordinates for their own mistakes. Sadly, this boss behavior is more the norm than the exception. Get used to it. Going over his head will only get you fired, or treated so bad you'll gladly quit. My advice: search for "how to deal with a boss who's an asshole." Good luck.

That's how the hierarchy works.blame the people below yourself

Written in a vague enough way to sadly apply to so many people! Sad so many people can relate to this!

Same thing happened to me, I feel you.

I thought FMLs that were too similar to other FMLs wouldn't be published, way to go team

If you can, take this up with Human Resources (or call your company's Ethics Hotline), as this dick move is highly inappropriate. If none of this can be done, then it's time to burnish up that resume (but do not use your boss as a reference).

Did you not put a cover page on your TPS reports?
