My money’s on the chairman not learning from the experience either; he still blamed you even though he was totally unable to find a way to actually blame you.
I'm a person who likes to fix. Sometimes that's not what my wife wants, though, she just wants to vent and be heard. I've learned to ask if she wants to be heard or if she wants me to offer solutions and that has really helped. I've started to apply this to other people in my life as well.
This one has been revolutionary for me, not everything needs to be solved. Honestly, on my end making it clear when I'm 'venting at you' vs when I 'want advice' has been great.
I love malicious compliance stories, but they're so much better when OP does everything in their power to help the situation and in the end they have to maliciously comply. This feels like a situation where OP was the expert and rather than correct Ron, just told him to sign. I'd make mistakes all the time at my job if I had to know every minor detail about the jobs underneath me. I acknowledge Ron probably micromanaged, but this feels less satisfactory to me because OP SHOULD have told Ron the consequences and instead opted to try to screw him over anyway.
