Lot of hate in these comments but a lot of people grow fast in corporate structure by being a sociopath. Sociopaths are incredibly good at making you think they're trying to help you before using you as a shield to do something they were going to anyway.

Her boss knew this was long covid issues. Didn't care. Wanted any excuse and probably asked leading questions till they got the answers they wanted.

My bosses boss kept asking me "right but I'm not ending this call till you give me stone improvement areas. Like if she knew more about xyz she'd be better equipped right?" Sure more knowledge will always make you better. He's definitely putting down that feedback as mine if I even hint at being agreeable. He was also putting that down no matter what and got where he did by shifting blame.
