How do you deal with micromanaging at your job?

Do you adapt your communication style, set boundaries, or address it head-on?
Have you found ways to turn it into clearer structure or has it been a sign to seek a new environment?

I record all the work I’ve been doing biweekly to cover all my bases .

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years.

One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?
