Re: a little story from work

daaaaaamn. We had something like this happen when I was working one semester. It didn't go to the main boss, but it was still incredibly awkward for the two people, and hilarious to everyone else.
The one thing NOT to do is try to play it off like a joke. That's what happened at my job, and it just made everything a lot more uncomfortable.

You speak the truth. The only way to get through this situation alive is to bite the bullet, back up what you said and possibly suggest / demand improvement, depending on the situation, all without starting a fight. The real best option is of course to eschew backbiting, but I guess very few of us can be said to have a perfect track record in that regard.
