Coworker throws employee ‘under the bus’ and blames her for a mistake on a project they had equal part in, employee refuses to assist her on her next individual project: ‘She panicked’

Group projects in the workplace are almost as bad as group projects back in the academic days. The difference between the two? You get paid to do one of them, and you pay someone else to let you do the other one. Also, getting one bad grade in science class isn't the same as messing up a project at the office.

If you play your cards completely wrong, you might be walking out the door at 5 PM, and your boss will tell you not to bother coming in the next day, or ever. If the project hiccup is not your fault, though, but your groupmate insists that it is to your boss, you've got to cover for yourself. Many coworkers will do whatever they can to get a leg up on you, and that includes throwing you under the bus for a mistake they made. Sounds insane, but it happens every day. Scroll to read what happens to an employee who gets blamed for a mistake they didn't make.
