I'm not impressed --- she took an already not-great situation, where she had co-workers who weren't really pulling their weight, and made it confrontational and poisonous. This is pretty obviously not a good way to treat your co-workers, and it doesn't help build the sort of positive relations that will allow you to help them improve, so you have people who still aren't pulling their weight, but now have reason to dislike you. My advice? Don't do that, no matter what your boss thinks of it. EDIT: I can't type.

Mostly agreed, although it's hard to judge. I wouldn't want to be the one that always has to pick up after everyone else either.

Sounds like there was bad blood or a general cultural problem there already. I can't imagine a well gelled team of people who like each other ever being unable to solve this kind of problem. An employee should be comfortable going to their manager and their manager's manager about problems like this, and a manager should "nip it in the bud" when an employee begin running such "little pseudo-managerial experiments" on their colleagues instead of voicing your frustrations directly. What even is a managerial experiment? Colleagues and subordinates are not experimental subjects.
