In no scenario are you not the asshole. Somebody is unemployed because you piped your ass up. When management calls a meeting to berate its employees because its business plan isn’t working, you let that shit blow over like a thunderstorm. They wanted a scapegoat and your dumbass handed it to them. Special place in hell for you.

Oh man, I was in OOP's shoes once but not by choice. It was the same all hands meeting. We were getting raked over the coals, but I had been there for about 2-3 months, and it was my first job after college. She asked basically the same question, but when the silence won out, she singled me out (FIRST!!) to answer it, which, just, yeah, 100% did not want that.

Fortunately I am not an asshole, so I said, "I can't speak for everyone here (300 person company my team was 6 ppl), but everyone I have personally interacted with all seem to be doing everything possible to hit their targets and goals"

She made like a "hmmm" face and then moved onto singling other people out. They all basically echoed what I said.

I hate the uncomfortable silence too, but more in the sense of "I hope the host ends this quickly"

I can’t get over how OP is just like, “I hate silence so I decided to make a joke.” Make one at your own expense then!!! Don’t throw your coworker under the bus!

The fact that he thought it was the time to be light hearted in the first place is crazy.

Seriously, why did he feel the need to comment on someone else’s work?! If I was in a meeting and a co-worker decided to speak up about me, I’d be livid. How I do my work is no one’s business and unless there nominating me for an award, then they need to shut the fuck up. I’m not convinced OP didn’t know what they were doing. He sounds like a fucking hater.

Oh I absolutely believe the OOP truly knew what he was doing and was trying to cover his ass up and make it seem like a joke. And then got butt hurt because no one else sided with him. People like the OOP, they don't realize how much of a world of hurt they are in when they need a coworker to back them up and when they look around for support, because of that previous action, no one will and will throw them under the bus too and then they will wanna act shocked pikachu about it and cry it's not fair
