'You're not a team player': Employee accused of insurbordination after refusing to do the work of his fully remote Karen coworker

Being a team player means supporting your coworkers when it's appropriate. It does not mean doing their job for them.

Here, we have a fully remote Karen coworker who had the audacity to ask an employee, who had to work in-person every day, to print multiple PDFs and scan them as one document for her. Now, the purpose of this was to combine these PDF documents into one, a task the employee pointed out could be via Adobe. He even wrote out clear instructions for how to do this from home, but the Karen refused to listen. Instead, their boss got involved and accused the employee of insubordination. Again, the employee was fulfilling his core responsibilities and was complying, albeit with reservations, with the new in-person work policy. Meanwhile, this Karen has the privilege of working remotely full-time and refused to fulfill her own responsibilities because of her out-of-touch understanding of how to merge PDFs. 

Who do you think was the insubordinate one here? Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more, check out this post about an entitled manager who tried to force their employee to work longer.
