Secretary proves to the office who's really in charge after she puts boss in his place for attempting to go against a long-established policy: ‘She's the Real Boss’

We all know that those who sit in the boss's chair and those who actually run the place are usually not the same people. It is well established that the CEO barely knows what is going on in their own company, and that bosses usually like to delegate all their tasks so they would not have to do anything, which means they are often not the best authority on calling the shots.

So who is the one who runs the office? Who do you go to when you need something to get done?

Well, in most offices, the people who actually know what's up are usually the secretaries and the receptionists. They receive all the management's information, and they actively know what to do with it. They direct everything and have a firm grip on the controls, yet they never get any of the credit. They are the true bosses of the office, so if you need something from your boss, you are much more likely to get it if you first turn to their secretary. 

And the story below only further proves this point.
