Okay, you will not do it but the underlying problem remains: you'll take the blame for other people's mistakes. How do you deal with that?

  The situation is you are brought on board to do work, and you have in-house collaborators and you'll take the blame for their mistakes? Step back and find an outcome where your work doesn't harm their reputation/security. So how do you make them into allies? Or how do you not matter to them? Figure that out...

    > The situation is you are brought on board to do work, and you have in-house collaborators and you'll take the blame for their mistakes? People really are like that, yes: Monday the boss says "X is now responsible for Y" and lo and behold, Tuesday EVERYONE already says "Y is not working well, X, do something, it's your fault!". > Step back and find an outcome where your work doesn't harm their reputation/security. So how do you make them into allies? Or how do you not matter to them? Figure that out... I have figured out part of that and I was genuinely asking if you have additional insights.

      Okay yes we are in sync then. Additional insights? Not broadly no, beyond this. I think these situations are highly context dependent.
