Office workers can be like eels. Eternally wriggling free of work's consequences and passing the blame onto someone else in their bureaucracy, office backstabbers avoid taking responsibility for their shortcomings. For this reason, when it comes to office work, the best revenge is in the receipts; that's why it's always advisable to keep a paper trail of emails, letters, or written word to back yourself up when the office space starts getting a little hot.
Like all career folks, we're all just out here trying to build a name for ourselves, so when your coworker who's known for slacking off starts blaming you for letting the project deadlines slide, all anyone can do is save face. And when you have the email receipts (timestamped, of course) to clear your good name, the lazy, low-life, backstabbing employees of this world have nothing to do except beg forgiveness from the higher-ups.
Maybe next time a project is due, this office employee will think twice before blaming everyone else for their failure, because the embarrassment from this company meeting was enough to memorably sting their ego for all time.
