What work place dramas has you found yourself in even though you didn't do anything wrong? (lemmy.ml)

It could be that someone got fired for something they did and you got the blame for them being fired.

Or it could be something else, so spill the beans what workplace dramas have you been involved in?

i realized (in retrospect & a few years ago) that i was near the center of a strongly controversial political hiring decision based on the comments i got from some of my colleagues; but didn't them piece together until almost a decade+ later.

i'm still not sure what the controversy was; but i do know it was committed by the same c-level exec who took a strange interest in my well being in my the company like i was pip in the dickens novel, great expectations. i assume this because his tenure ended an hour before mine did when the company got bought out. lol

i also learned that my team lead and my manager were on the opposing side of the decision; so i got quite a lesson on what it means to watch your back at work and keeping your ear to the ground.
