Or because the boss didn't want to hear bad news. This is how the reality distortion field works.

The correct solution to this problem is to leak the bad news past your direct boss to his (and if necessary even further up). Unfortunately, it doesn't work if your direct boss is already C-level (in which case you are D-level and should urgently start looking for the nearest exit).
