Manager: ZZ, find why this incorrect thing is happening. I think your recent upload broke something.Me: Found the problem. It's related to something done in 2020. (Three years before I started at the company)
Them: It must have been you. We never would have done things this way back then.
Me: It has your signature on it.
Them: You know that signature can't be trusted. Anyway, who did it isn't important. Please just fix it.
At least she said please at the end.

Funny how she stopped caring who did the thing when it's between her and someone who has left.
She's still better than my last manager, but I hate stuff like this.
She also thanked me for quickly resolving the issue. Something my last manager also would never have done.
....yeah that sounds really annoying
If she hadn't started off trying to blame you and just asking you to find the issue that would be one thing
But the doubling down is super rich
I can see WHY she would thought it was maybe me. It's to do with pricing, but the order was automatically adding an extra feature I have never before touched that was changing the price.
Oof
But my initial response of: I've never seen this thing before and no one has ever mentioned it to me before - I need to try to google some things (because no one has been trained on how to use our database we often google things) was not good enough.
And they didn't notice until now, eesh
I didn't mind the blame at first but my office bullshit meter sky-rocketed when she replied with: no, this is obviously a pricing issue. So, you must have done something wrong.
They didn't notice because it's an old customer ordering a rare item for the first time since 2020
It doesn't help that this is becoming something of a habit lately.
Yeah, it didn't use to be like this here
