I assume it was "work" and that‘s the joke :p

I am curious if there is a name for this situation where someone corrects others’ grammar and then make a grammar mistake themselves?

yes. it’s Muphry’s Law
Murphy's Law covers it in a way, but I was thinking of something more specific to this exact case.

I think I will start calling it Pontificator's Law. Let's see if it sticks.
