You need to learn the first thing about the work environment...CYA (cover your a--). Learn live and make it yours. Unfortunately, in todays workplace you need to remain on your toes and prepared to pay attention to your surroundings.

True story -- Our law professor at the very beginning of a law course once broke a wooden chair up right in front of us on top of a table and yelled -- THIS IS WHAT THE COURT WILL DO TO YOU IF YOU SCREW YOUR PEOPLE !!!
Corporate owners, managers and supervisors...BEWARE.
...Don't tolerate B.S. -- They tell YOU they don't tolerate it, so there is NO reason they should be able to hide behind the corporate veil and do things like that -- Judges OFTEN pierce the corporate veil in cases like yours -- it suprises me just how many businesses do this today and how cocky they are -- Hiding behind paperwork will NOT work -- It doesn't matter what you signed, you CANNOT waive your rights -- ask ANY lawyer and they will tell you this -- even if you signed a paper not to tell anyone anything -- you STILL have your rights, especially if the place you worked for screwed up. And by law, you MUST let the feds know if a business is screwing up and violating the law. You have a right to redress for greviences by law...it doesn't matter if there's a union or not, you're covered by federal statutes as a worker.
Just ask any lawyer who works cases for dismissal without justification or harrassment.
-- Like the man said, in the military he would have been toast just "by word of mouth" alone...We would have Bar-B-Qued him alive, made a litter box out of his ashes, and then taken a good long dump in it. Drop of a name, where they worked and what happened can do wonders for a company's reputation...
Rule #1 -- Screw your people and eventually they WILL screw you back.

I agree CYA. this is our motto at my job. do make yourself invaluable to the boss but do not let him walk all over you. if you suck up to much you just are going to get into a rut. if your immediate supervisor/boss is a jerk go over his head. not to wine about your boss but make yourself look good and others will pale in comparison. if you do a job for some one else point that out. if you do something that is not in your job description that is specifically a higher management types responsibility keep a record. this is what gets promotions and raises. and always CYA> even if this means keeping records that will hurt others including your boss. you are the number one person in your life at your job.

if you can prove that your boss did this and you have witnesses you could take it to the corperate office and file a grievance . if there are no witnesses than all you can do is live by this motto { c.y.a. } cover your a _ _ . and be more carefull in the future.

Make yourself so valuable to the boss that he can't afford to fire you. Be willing to fill in, work overtime, etc do extra, be cheerful at work.

stand up for yourself, take some revenge on your boss. Word will get around that you don't take sh*t from nobody.
