What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k. Also, any thoughts on the stability of their philanthropic commitment? There's talk of a recession; I don't want to go private to be cute a few months later.

You can try being more proactive. Or, let them know that you have noticed and ask why they do what they do.
She will react : you know what I will usually do xxx so I think it’s best you follow my instruction ! This is a communist company you cannot comment but to follow instruction from her
I like to twitch a bit and tell them the voices are telling me what to do and we’re just fine.
Politely tell them that while you appreciate their attention to detail, you're able to complete your tasks without constant help.
She will shout : you don’t have to tell me what to do! I am in charge and you listen to me ! You get out!!
Oh, this is an easy one. You give them what they want, in excruciating detail. You notify them when you're going to the bathroom, when you're back, lunch, etc. But you must first announce that you I tend to comply with their request to the best of your ability.
You also make it EXCRUTIATINGLY CLEAR, that you're going to keep track of this insanity so that when this all goes 'Boom' They are not going to have anyway to escape from what they started. Less-than-politely making an overbearing, to the point of outright abusive, Manager aware that there is going to be an on-going record of what they've started, and where EVERYONE can see where it's going to wind up, has a serious way of forcing them into being a lot more cooperative, since Otherwise is going to see them left with their 'short's' down when it all goes 'Boom'.................
I have the opposite problem. Previous manager was invisible, new manager, met her twice since 1st of January 2026. Service manager too busy dealing with firefighting. Colleague from another team has assumed the role of a manager but with no authority to ask anyone to carry out any tasks. And not in a position to take blame when things go wrong. Looks like it’s either too much involvement or no involvement from managers today.
I had one and it gave me so much anxiety. I ended up having to get therapy and I left a transferred to another department. I think it’s very sad that they allow this to happen to people and many places feel like micromanaging is just a Management style. But what it is it’s breaking down employees and it’s causing them to have mental and physical ailments that do not allow them to focus on doing their actual job. I am so sorry this is happening to you because it happened to me for over three years and nobody was held accountable for this.
