Man 1: Did you see the Angus vs Reuben 1v1 in Siege last night? Angus destroyed him!
Man 2: Yes I did! It must've been because Reuben was high. In what other conceivable way could Angus have realistically beat him?
Man 1: I'm telling you, it's the Angus effect! This has happened time and time again.

While it can be argued very narrowly that the employee could have behaved differently, it is the case that there are too many aforementioned factual or logical inconsistencies to cause the ire of the boss upon the employee. An important element is that this judgement and subsequent criticism is after a considerable amount of time where the employee has offered loyalty in the face of difficult positions taken by or assignments given by one's boss.
The vice president suffered from the Pence Effect when he was blamed by his boss for not single handedly overturning the election.
That guy toiled loyally for years attempting to implement his bosses ideas even though they were I'll advised. When they didn't work out he was blamed. Sure, maybe someone else could have done it, but to draw the conclusion that it's his fault is a stretch at best. He suffered from the Pence Effect.

Get the Pence Effectmug. The okc effect is when you continue chatting with someone on okc instead of meeting them. Usually, it sets in about 10 minutes into a chat, potentially earlier. After onset of the okc effect, one or both chatters get unrealistically high hopes based on a false sense of intimacy. In turn, the okc effect becomes a vicious circle. The pressure of meeting becomes higher and higher, so you continue chatting and chatting.
Dood 1: I've been chatting for weeks with this totally hot guy on okc. He's super cool.
Dood 2: when are you gonna hook up man?
Dood 1: soon, maybe next weekend.
Dood 2: dude, totz okc effect! You ain't never meeting. You're too chicken shit he may be fugly.
