Send to a Friend

Was there ever a time in your life when you got burned (relationship wise)? Either from a work situation, personal situation, whatever?

Did you ever get burned, either work-wise, romantically or friendship-wise? By “burned” I am referring to either someone ratting on you, backstabbing, or doing something you never expected a friend or coworker should or would do?

I had a coworker accuse me of something yesterday, but he was wrong. In his accusation, he cc’d the boss. In my defense of myself, in response, I of course cc’d the boss. Then when the co-worker admitted he was incorrect, he sent the admission and apology only to me. It was only when I told him to send it to the boss that he did, but the whole thing made me like “Ooohhh, so now I know who I can trust.” Not that I said that, but I thought it. If you’re going to be a rat, at least be correct in your rat-ness!

I am just thinking about what happened and wondering if anybody else had anything similar happen – anything like backstabbing or someone doing something bad you never would have expected.
