'You want more details, here you go': IT team complies with micromanaging coworker's request to provide ‘details' for new system update; turns out 120 pages long

Some people are blessed with micromanaging coworkers who don't want them to get ahead and will go as far as to actively attempt to make them look bad so that they will stay in the same position for years, if not forever. That allows these mini micromanagers to get what they want, whether it's a promotion, a good reputation, or simple satisfaction that other people are as miserable as they are.

This story involves one such coworker and a small IT team consisting of 2 employees who really did their best for the company. The coworker in question did not want them to 'climb ranks' and so when they had a new phone system upgrade that they needed to build, the coworker made sure to send out a mass email to other employees, including upper management, trying to get them to reject the change. He was not anticipating the fight that began, but you can read all about that below. For more stories like this, here is a small town council that tried to micromanage one of the residents, but it backfired.
