Or shenanigans, but likely the above.

Suggesting that someone be fired over this seems a bit over the top to me.
That's a good thought and makes perfect sense.

What went wrong was:
-They didn't notify me when the upgrade occurred.
-They didn't notify when the upgrade was later revoked.
-They assigned someone else my original Y seat after assigning me an F seat, but never bothered to re-assign me a Y seat after I lost my F seat (so I was sitting there in 16C, for who knows how long, without a valid assigned seat - unbeknownst to me)
-They didn't bother updating the system to reflect the revocation of my upgrade; hence, the deduction of my 15,000 miles, when I was never - in fact - upgraded.

That's pretty poor.
