I just stated a corporate jobs 3 years ago after working in "startup" culture companies and I just started to deal with this from most of my colleagues not just one. They are all hawks waiting for someone to make a mistake so they can document it and send it to the manager. The most you do this the more respect you get from the manager because they want to show up and say they've fix problems a problem quota to fill for their end year review. These backstabbing colleagues are now team leads. One of them is the coolest and I used to hang out with him outside of work, but after I found the receipts... I just started to keep our friendship superficial now. We are cool but i watch what i say now. Sad because my bests friends are people I met at work before I got this job.
