Me and my manager were working on a document together, I finished editing it and sent it to my manager for him to review and then for it to go to the client.
Before a piece of work goes to the client it gets tidied up. Usually my manager would say he's happy with the final draft and then ask me to tidy it up and then it would get sent to the clients.
For this piece of work I sent him it for review and he said it was ready to go, he tidied up most of it but left in a few things that the client shouldn't have seen. I wasn't CC'd in to the email to the clients so I didn't see it go at the time, otherwise I would have flagged that we needed to tidy it up and resend
The issue is my manager thinks it was me. I can see why as usually it would fall to be my responsibility but in this case it didn't.
I did try and say that 'it wasn't me' in a discreet way but he didn't catch on.
Should I just take the fall and leave it? I hate feeling guilty for something I didn't do
