Oh what a tangled web we weave….
To establish a Teflon coating: When pinning the blame on one person doesn’t work because they bluntly contradict you? Turn to another and state ferociously that you are 100% certain you gave them the item in question and demand to know why they didn’t follow up. Maybe if you say it loud and intimidatingly enough, you will get the other person to doubt themselves and decide to go check instead of snapping back that you did not. Then even if they come back and report that you did not do it, the reply is too muted to wipe out the original perception created and you will not acquire any blame.
*props chin in hand* sometimes office politicians are as bad as the elected ones – think that Is where they learn it? If this isn’t a Rule of Acquisition, or a technique espoused by Machiavelli, it should be.
