In order to replace two people who resigned, I must fill out two forms, forward to my boss for approval, she forwards to her boss, & she forwards to VP for approval.
I completed the forms and emailed them to my boss with, "For your approval". My boss read it but never approved them (she just forgot I guess). This was in mid August.
Her boss now asks her whats the hold up. She, in turn, asks me why hadn't I started the process. I told her (my direct boss) that I did and re-sent her the original emails as proof.
She now wants me to start new forms before she approves and forwards to her boss. (She's trying to hide from her boss that she dropped the ball. She wants her boss to think that it was me who dropped the ball.). I re-emailed the original emails twice and she refuses to use the original forms. Gave me direct/clear order to re-do the forms. I'm tired of taking the blame for her screw ups. Pls offer suggestions.

Do the new forms. Put them in an e-mail and state "these are the replacement forms that you requested". Then do a blind cc to her manager. She'll get the message without you having to say more.

The next time you e-mail the original forms, CC the VP in the e-mail.
You should *never* take the blame for someone else's mistake, even your boss.
