I could have guessed this would have happened, he didn't mention it because he was the one that made the f**k up & he knew it. He probably even knew it when he phoned you trying to pressure/blackmail you into coming in as if you were due.
However, with the constant pressure, unrealistic duties, no give and all take, all the goodwill has gone from this job and being treated like he was isn't going to make it come back.
Handy hint for lucking managers, tell the truth when you cock up be honest, and treat your OPGs like adults, not kids and they'll do a lot more for you than if you continue in the current and corporate mandated method of bullying.
