Anyone else have/deal with a boss that is so focused on every little detail? He’s very senior and will get involved in every small request of like $5k when normally he doesn’t need to get involved unless it’s like $100k+ request. I know it’s not me, have been promoted here and have really great feedback so it’s not an issue of me not doing my job, but it’s been starting to frustrate me so much bc I have to spend so much time explaining every little detail so he doesn’t freak out. (Contd)

With micromanagers you gotta anticipate what they’re going to want or what they’re going to zero in on and notify them or call it out before they get a chance to tell you. Overcommunicate everything you’re doing and after a while they’ll trust you have it handled and back off.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.

And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.
