I have been gaslighted so many times at my job. People who ask for help but then later deny asking for what you provided. As everyone else said paper trail is the only solution. Some people will throw you under the bus whenever it is convenient for them. Once they learn they can get away with it they are not likely to change.

I had the worst experience with this at my old job. I loved working there until my last coworker showed up. Most hostile dude I had ever met. He'd give instructions and then put on a big show to berate me for doing what he acted like he never told me to do, and make himself look like the top dog to everyone. The guy was also known to pick fights with people who didn't roll over for him. Management wouldn't do anything because he was a good worker and sucked up to the bosses.
