The audacity of this assistant is insane and maybe a little iconic. Charlotte was a 50-year-old administrative assistant who reported to the CEO of a small company. The CFO was a 27-year-old, and Charlotte was clearly threatened by the age difference. When she was tasked with creating the organizational structure chart, she refused to acknowledge that the 27-year-old, who shared this Reddit thread, was senior to her.
Apparently, the CEO refused to back the CFO when this hierarchical conundrum became apparent, so the CFO decided to see how a little malicious compliance might do the trick. He decided that since he was no longer senior to Charlotte, he did not have to correct the many errors she made on her report of the company's financial data. This ended up backfiring with clients and the CEO looked pretty bad at the end of the whole debacle. Someone had to be blamed for this mess-up, and well, it was time for Charlotte to take responsibility for her actions.
