It's when you get screwed over by the higher ups on your side, so you go to the enemy side in anger. It means that your superior "Pulled a Gates", which is screwing you over and/or stealing the credit. You've done a lot for the side, and you've got nothing to show for it except for insults, so you go to the enemy side in anger.
Example 1-God. my manager at Mc Donalds kept taking the credit for my great innovations and lowered my wage as an insult to injury, so I decided to work at Burger king. Yup, I just pulled a Benedict Arnold.
Example 2-I've been screwed over by the Soviet Union. They keep imprisoning me and stealing the credit. I'm going to be a defector. I'm going to pull a Benedict Arnold if this doesn't stop soon.
