People can and will be assholes. Good thing your boss decided to be smart this time.

Kind of sounds like OP is an asshole as well, if everyone she works with tried to get her in trouble. Guess at least she's a hard working asshole? haha

Ah but now they will try to say that it's OP's fault that they now look like lazy assholes.

Even good work friends can be assholes. Best to go by my rule "Don't trust anyone at work".

From next time onwards, open your mouth in meetings and don't just sit there accepting all the false blame. Hunt or be hunted, that's the corporate way...

OP may not have been in the meeting. At my job, whichever one of us is not present is always the scapegoat. I'm the only one with enough balls to call people out and say what the real problems are. Everyone else just acts like they're all bffs and hates on whoever can't be in attendance.

How much more ass-backwards can this situation get?
Sorry you work with assholes, OP.

Wait you actually work at your job? Shame on you OP! You should know better than that!

How dare she to actually do what she is supposed to do at work?! She needs to be punished! Rabble rabble rabble!

Take one for the team??

Would you? I know I wouldn't.

People nowadays can't take the blame! Just blast your boss with some facts!

Hope they looked like idiots. Just keep doing your job and eventually they'll find someone else to pick on

Well, usually, when people do their job great, they admired or at least well-seen by their coworkers. There do is an exception, which are people who don't get along with their workmates. maybe you might work on that too.

Congratulations, OP! Your asshole coworkers have lost credibility in front of your boss, who now knows that you are an excellent worker. Keep up the good work, and ignore douchebags like your coworkers; they have only themselves to blame.

This literally just happened to me the day before yesterday.
