If you think more carefully about your plan to complain to the company's CEO, I'm sure you will agree with me that it is not a good idea. After all, I am your boss. I have more experience than you, and I decide who gets fired around here. Required:
a. Does it commit a fallacy?
b. Does it commit an appeal to pity fallacy?

a. Yes.

b. No.

Explanation:

The argument presents a fallacy called Argumentum ad verecundiam, or appeal to authority. A fallacy is an argument that makes disjointed premises to establish itself as true, even if it is not. Appeal to authority is the fallacy that appeals to the relevance of an authority to present an argument as true and to justify a behavior or event. In the above argument, we can see that the speaker, having the authority to dismiss employees, states that this authority should be taken into account when employees want to make complaints to the CEO of the company, when in fact the complaints and the authority of the speaker are not related .

We can see that the argument does not make an appeal to pity, because this is the fallacy where the speaker plays the victim to try to win the listener's sympathy.
