Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too

I was accepted a proposed timeline based on promised resources, which I never got.
And when shit hit the fan, they just said, but it’s your timeline?!
That was the point, where I promised myself, I’ll do nothing important anymore on the phone, because I’ll need written evidence.
And just a few months later, I was in that exact position, where I was blamed that something wasn’t ready, which was promised to the customer.
But as I had everything written in mails, what I’ve promised to accomplish, I could show, that everything there was actually finished and only the stuff managers promised, which I have objected to, was just horse shit.
Can’t trust anyone.
They will act friendly on the phone, just to throw you under the bus, when the heat comes up.

I love my coworkers but I’ve been bitten in the past and now I only trust emails, even for small projects and even if I can’t be fired.
In the past, the CTO of a company destroyed the Linux servers by putting random commands in bash (he only knew Windows). They tried to put the blame on me, I printed all the emails where I warned them that it was the worst idea ever and said something like “you suck, it’s your fault, don’t try to sue me, I quit.” There is no need to put your whole life (personal and money) in danger because one idiot cannot do his job.
