antisistant

Definition

A spectacularly counterproductive employee who, despite credentials and paycheck, possesses an almost supernatural ability to make every situation worse. They're the assistant who somehow turns helping into hindering, like a reverse Midas touch but for workplace productivity. If Murphy's Law were a person with a job description, this would be it.

Example Usage

Our new hire is a total antisistant—she organized the files so thoroughly that now nobody can find anything.
