What is the definition of insubordination in the workplace?

Answer:

It's actually a failure to follow the rules.

Example - You have a boss - your boss also has a boss. You are expected to complain to your own boss, but you bypass him and talk to his boss.

Example - Your boss told you to do something. You didn't do it.

Example - You say bad things about your boss and he finds out.
