I had a problem where I was blamed for things I didn't do at work and my terror coworker I called her that because she always seem angry when people write it wrong on forms and then I had a problem and she knew it she gave me advice how to protect myself cuz no ones gonna defend me but myself. How true is that?

Ugh that's such BS what your coworker said! Like yeah you should always stand up for yourself, but you don't gotta do it alone either.

Honestly it sounds like she was just tryna scare you cause she knew you already had issues there and didn't want anyone on your side. Typical mean girl garbage to try and turn you against the others.

Don't let her mess with your head! There's always strength in numbers. If you feel unfairly blamed again, I'd still go to your other coworkers or manager for backup. Chances are they've dealt with her attitude before too.

Stay polite but firm if you need to defend yourself. And if this one chick keeps antagonizing you, keep records of everything so you're covered if you have to report her. You don't deserve to be stressed at work!

Maybe even tell the others what she said to you - would show you're not afraid to stand up to her. You got this girl, don't let one lame coworker make you feel alone there!
