My boss blamed me for bringing all the problems at work now he is involved in a public scandal

[FireFox]

5 days earlier before I got fired from my job my boss said the words "you have brought nothing but problems to my department since you came here. You bring absolutely nothing to my team" and he brutally criticised all my numerous workplace mistakes I made so many in my job which I regret and my immaturity. Being 25 I was one of the youngest employees in the department and I was still a newcomer too.

A couple of days ago my former workplace and department I worked in is now involved in another public scandal. My previous workplace has been subject to ongoing multiple investigations by the housing Ombudsman only after I got fired it is now all starting to come out about all the shady shit my workplace has been doing all under my boss leadership.

Before I left the company it was in the process of undergoing a merger. The new investigation found in the months leading up to the merger my department handed poorly a housing case involving a disabled vulnerable resident with asthma. The house had serious issues with damp and mould. My workplace department failed to respond to her multiple complaints and didn't have the mould fixed as a result she was stuck in unsafe housing for over a year. The investigation said the workplace actions amounted to severe maladministration and poor practices and they must pay compensation to the resident. The investigation found also they broke UK equality laws.

The day I got fired my boss did warn me in the months leading up to the merger things were going to be difficult for the department and he was trying to keep the team together. He looked so scared as he was explaining to me. At first I thought he was talking about jobs losses due to merger now it all now makes sense my boss knew these big public scandals were coming. Before the scandals became public I noticed my boss became suddenly strange in his behaviour. He was getting even more stressed in meetings, fighting with other managers and then our work relations broke down. We used to get on so well then when things started going wrong in my job role he blamed me for being the source of problems in the department.

I am enjoying reading the news reports and seeing my previous workplace getting publicly shamed. For me it feels like justice for getting blamed and humiliated. My final days at work was spent being humiliated by an older woman work friend gossiping about me which spread across the department, heartbroken by the older male colleague I fell in love with and then being a labelled by management a troublemaker for my outspoken personality and not taking shit.

I'm very sorry about your job loss, that's no fun at all! But I am happy that you've dodged a bullet by no longer being associated with that workplace!

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job, but at least some justice has been done against your former workplace and boss. I hope you are able to thrive or find peace later down the road.

@CentreMid Following the news I can finally move on now. I can not stop laughing because a couple of months ago my department had a total meltdown over me criticising an extremely difficult unpleasant client for their unfair behaviour and demands. My brutal honesty shocked the entire department and the client too. I acknowledge I was harsh in my words and I took responsibility for my actions and learnt from my mistakes but the management kept giving me so much shit me over it even after the incident got resolved.

I got labelled a workplace trouble maker as a result. At the time I was my first month into the role when the incident happened. I am a naturally outspoken person who is not afraid to say if something is not fair as a result I just stood out from the workplace crowd. I struggled to fit in with my colleagues at work.

I made loads of mistakes in my job role and had my own controversies but I never caused a big scandal for it to go in the media or trigger investigations.

I have learnt a lot from this and getting fired as made me realise what I want in life.

@TAW122 I got fired on February this year and it is so werid how all the workplace scandals started coming out months after getting fired. I really wanted to be a good employee but so much went wrong quickly in my role in a space of months.

In beginning my boss and I got on well I thought this is workplace is going to be great. On my first week being new he was so protective of me he said to people in the department " do not dump your dirty work on her" then fast forward a couple of months he now saw me as the source of the departments problems.

Before I got fired my boss and I had an enormous argument which resulted me yelling at him. He was being a supreme arsehole and behaving like a bull in a China shop. The other managers were not even restraining him as he was being nothing but disrespectful and so hostile and out of order. He went white as a sheet when I screamed at him. He looked like he was going to combust. I was not putting up this bullshit. After that he distanced himself from me.

The day he fired me he changed his behaviour and tone. His eyes looked so sorrowful and he was more calmed down. I never seen this side of him before. Actually as we talked we both even exchanged a few jokes and our communication was going to back to how it was in the beginning civil and lighthearted. I thought I could persuade him to keep me on despite everything. I fought till the end.

The way he looked at me I will never forget even said "thank you but I have to let you go. Don't think of getting fired as the worst thing that happened to you maybe this could have been the best thing that ever happened to you"

He did say I have "a lot to offer" other employers in other organisations but "not here". Then he goes back into protective mode with me.

Sorry this happened to you. It's good you are out of there. You won't be sinking with the ship.
Maybe it won't sink but your boss may lose his job. Small comfort I guess. If that had happened after someone had screwed me over, I would be LMAO.

@not-2-b-the-answer I am loving this so much and can not stop laughing.

Looking back now I came into the company as a newcomer at the wrong time but strangly ended up getting fired at the right time.

The day I arrived as an employee the company and department was already under investigations at time only senior management knew about the investigations and few employees involved in cases investigated by the Ombudsman. At the time I arrived the company was going through a merger which employees were worried losing their own positions.

In addition to the fact my work colleagues were just shitty two faced people who landed me in problems. My naivety and being too trusting made it worse. People who I thought were my friends at work were the ones who humiliated me and gossiped about me which spread to the workforce.

I got labelled a workplace trouble maker for criticising an extremely difficult unpleasant client for their unfair behaviour and demands. My brutal honesty shocked the entire department and the client too. Other things that got me labelled workplace troublemaker was falling in love with 55 year old male work colleague who turned out to be a lying arsehole who humiliated to the workplace management. My older woman work friend turned out to be a gossiper.

I stood up for myself when my boss was being a complete piece of shit and he didn't like that. The look on his face was priceless. He was mad.

Had I stayed I would have been caught up in all the toxicity, the blaming and pure choas. It feels so satisfying knowing that the departments final days before the completion of the merger was complete hell and anarchy.

Hopefully they shit all over everything.

Ah, the sweet taste of vindication! It must feel satisfying to witness your previous workplace facing the consequences of their shady practices. Sometimes life has a way of bringing justice, even if it takes a while. It's unfortunate that you had to endure such difficult times, including being blamed, humiliated, and labeled as a troublemaker. But hey, your outspoken personality and refusal to take any crap can be assets in the right environment. Now that you've moved on from that toxic workplace, it's time to focus on your own growth and finding a work environment where your strengths are appreciated and celebrated. Use this experience as a lesson to trust your instincts, stand up for yourself, and seek out opportunities that align with your values. You deserve a workplace where you can thrive and be appreciated for who you are.

@not-2-b-the-answer I know my workplace there have been fighting and they is deffo tears. My former boss when he is annoyed he is bull in a China shop and sweary as a salior.

This is the best birthday gift ever. First I get accepted on my masters programme I wanted and the Ombudsman findings and news reports came out 2 days before my birthday.

@HeretoDi3 Thanks for the advice

I never used to believe in the pharse "be careful "what you might get it" then it happened to me

Every work meeting I always felt out of place, and I struggled with the job role but I ignored these feelings . I really wanted things to work out for the best and be the good employee I know I can be. All I wanted was to stay until my employment contract term came to an end which was scheduled to be in May. I do not believe in quitting

Before I got fired my workplace organised an office day where the team met for the day. At this office meeting I finally began to acknowledge these feelings. When I looked at my work colleagues as they spoke all I thought in my head was "what are you staying for, what are doing here.?" Then It finally hit me that I wanted something else a change in my life. I realised I can't live like this for 10-20 years. In that room all wanted was May to come already so my employment can come to an end.

5 days later I got fired by my boss. The day I got fired I was deeply disappointed and so embarrassed because I got fired from my first ever full time job since graduating university however many minutes later feelings of relief and europhia began to kick in.

@jessicaX It gets even better my boss is going to be losing his job.

My boss and I used to get along then he changed. I felt so sorry for my boss when he expressed his sadness to everyone at work over its position being not being secure then the same day after he had his lunch he processed to lash out against me. The man went into a pure frenzy in criticising me and blaming me for bringing problems to his department, insulting and just humiliating me. I ended up shouting at him because he kept being a supreme arsehole.

My boss is now getting a taste of his own medicine. Now he will feel the pure fear and hopelessness of knowing your employment is coming to an end and there is nothing you can do about it. That is how I felt in the days before I got fired because he made feel that day.
