They mat be doing their job or they could be a asshole micro manager that should never be in charge of managing people. Hopefully its not the latter, as Liam Nelson would say, good luck!

Every damn time

Is it for actual serious issues (content completely wrong) or just the manager’s personal style (he likes red instead of blue numbering)? The way to approach each of those is different

You are surprised at this?

How do you handle the “red vs blue” scenario?

Your manager also knows the client’s triggers and may be making sure your deliverables don’t hit them. My client has a very specific font size requirement for headings and subheadings and when my team doesn’t do it, i get pings from him reminding me to remind my team. I know sometimes it feels like dumb feedback but the client is the one paying.

Accenture1- I feel the same way. I feel every time I turn something in, the manager marks up many things and was like “ this shouldn’t be reviewed

OP - Yep Exactly

Accenture 1, i am just concerned my manager thinks I suck

A1 - I actually know how you feel, and I don’t have enough project experience to know if I do or not.

The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

How do you feel about leaving a company shortly after joining?

I've been told by people to not be loyal to companies & I've seen posts in forums where people have talked about leaving workplace 1, at workplace 2 for like 3 weeks, and already interviewing for workplace 3 (and the recruiter for workplace 3 doesn't even know that the person has left workplace 1). That feels a little disingenuous and...bad etiquette maybe? What do you think?

Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
