How do you deal with a manager that is constantly micromanaging and checking in on you? Recently they've been calling me all the time to check in on me - I could get the work done faster if they weren't calling me all the time! Is there no trust at workplaces anymore?

I am proactive in getting a hold of them first. Not in a malicious way, but I already know they want every detail, so I give them the details. Helps them reach out to me less, but doesn’t save me any time in getting that work done instead of constantly updating.

I think it depends on your relationship to them but if you feel like you can chat to them about it it might be good to let them know! Open communication I’ve experienced is the best way to keep micromanagers off your back!
