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 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.
When I was a kid (late teens) I read a Henry Miller book that had a line something like,“Do exactly what they tell you to do, and let them live to regret it.” Just made me appreciate malicious compliance for most of my working life.
