'Let's see how that goes over': Worker told submitted report wasn't detailed enough, sends 30+ page document, bosses regret their request

Be careful what you wish for! There's nothing quite like showing your superiors that what they are asking for is not what they actually want or need. In this case, this woman was told the report she initially submitted was not detailed enough, so what did she do? She complied, but only to prove a point.

The report she ended up sending was ridiculously detailed. Every single aspect of the volunteer organization she was reporting on was itemized, along with superfluous data and information like pie charts and graphs. Eventually, the people above her came back and admitted that what they received was way more than what they needed. Their new request, however, was to get a more concise version. Rather than go back and create something new, OP decided to just submit the original report she sent over. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments.
