Like today- my supervisor was telling a nother person and I something, but the policy had just recently changed on that subject, so I told her it that they had just changed it. She didn't seem to like to be corrected however. Should I have just kept my mouth shut?

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I do it all the time, and I've never had a boss that I didn't get an excellent reference from. Usually, they take it with a dry wit, and discover a characteristic about you they begin to admire and eventually, anticipate.
It's called ambition, and for it you will be recognized.
In other words...you go, girl! ;^)

regrettably you rather shouldn't astonishing your boss, even in the experience that your boss is surely incorrect. Making your boss experience dumb is the least complicated thank you to cause them to come down extra stable on you, that could consequence in you getting fired or getting an extremely undesirable improve. in the experience that your boss is misguided plenty and additionally you recognize that he or she would not savour being corrected, then you somewhat could ought to start searching for yet another activity so as which you do no longer flow insane. whilst your boss factors out a mistake that he or she thinks is your fault, i think of that this is alright to show out extenuating circumstances (i.e., "I purely despatched it to the handle that became saved on the touch checklist - i assumed you saved that as much as date?") some bosses will see this as whining, nonetheless, or think of you're attempting responsible others on your errors. it rather isn't any longer honest yet from time to time this is ultimate to suck it up and then flow out eating inclusive of your coworkers later and make exciting of your boss. i recognize that sounds like undesirable advice yet once you have an pastime in shifting up the corporate ladder quickly, i think of it rather is the final attitude to take once you have a stupid boss. optimistically your next boss would be extra useful because of the fact your boss's character is what makes or breaks a job. I purely left my first activity because of the fact my boss became consistently doing vaguely unethical issues and on the comparable time, blaming minor errors of his on me. It drove me nuts so I left and now I surely have a chairman that i in my view understand. It has made each and all the form. good success!

Nah, I don't think that's a good idea. I truly believed you did the right thing! I always tell people that they might not like hearing the truth ,but it will set you free. If your boss has issue with being corrected by his/her employee, that's her problem. It's not your fault,if your boss is not keeping up with the latest office policy.

Unfortunately, though you had good intentions it may have not been the best thing to do, but on the other hand
I was in a meeting with my alpha male boss and a customer, and my boss looked like such an idiot trying to look like a big shot that the customer offered me a job at almost double my salary, so hm, it's all crap shoot.

to me you did a good thing, but i think she might have not liked it because she is suppose to be superior than you...SUPERvisor...and she must be correct at all times, and you might have made her feel bad, or dumb( she is the supervisor and she doesn't know the policy changed, and she's supposed to know) kinda dumb, in front of the other person...but you still did a good thing telling her dat the policy changed

I don't think so, I would've defintely said something too. Don't feel bad she was probably embarrassed that she was wrong. Maybe next time you say something to her privately and it might be better. But don't apologize you were just trying to help

I think it's okay to correct your boss, but it's best to do it privately and in a really tactful way. Good luck with everything.

You were right to have corrected her as long as you did so respectfully and in a polite way, not in a gloating or smug way. If she didn't like it, then it's her problem and you shouldn't feel guilty, because you were right.
