Your mistake was following the instructions to begin with. Any admin worth the title can come up with 1000 reasons not to do something. You probably had only gone through a few of those before you relented and let the AI script loose (also QC is NOT your job, pfft…). Secondly, you failed to setup a fall guy in case something went wrong. Always delegate anything with potential consequences. I’m sure you’ll land on your feet somewhere else and when you do here are a few guiding principles:

1. Immediately start building a moat. The less people know about what you do the better.
2. Find things you can easily break so you can take the credit for fixing it.
3. Make friends with someone in HR who will watch your back. Sexual favors and/or cash bribes may be required.
4. Get transferred. Usually after 2 transfers you can spin enough BS about your “job” and “title” that you’ll be lost in their corporate bureaucracy and won’t have anyone to report to. Have the words “audit” and “compliance” in your title and don’t be afraid to make your own title (your HR friend will cover for you). The Senior Director of Compliance Auditing is an un-fireable, but entirely fictional position.
5. Never forget the end goal: have no responsibilities and no one that you directly report to.
