trouble at work

I thought maybe this should go in relationships but it is involving work, well, anyway. What can you do at work when there are people that always scheme to get others in trouble. I always thought that kind of behavior comes back to haunt you. Well, lately, I am the one suffering from these games. One reason this fellow employee is scheming is to take the heat from herself and her misconduct. Her constant untrue accusations are making my life miserable. I am constantly being questioned about my daily work. Or conversations I hzve with others. Did I do this, did I say that. Most of the accusations have been out and out lies, not even exaggerations of the truth. I am actually a superior to this other employee and have worked my job much longer. I do not understand why my boss even asks me about any of these situations. What can I do about this other woman! Actually, I would love to knock her out, but obviously that is not a solution

people with bad will usually step in their own pie eventually... brush it off...

Just document what you do each day and make sure you are "smarter" than she is. Spend as little time as you can around her (so she can't say you said such-and-such). Catch her in a really big whopper, preferably involving someone else, and then turn her in to her boss. Next time your boss asks you something involving her, get "angry" that he even asks. Let him know that you don't want to hear about her anymore, that you don't like her, think she should be fired or brought up short for her accusations and to quit "bothering" you, you're trying to do your job well/only and make money for the company :-)
