How have you overcome working with a micromanager? I struggle in my current position by reporting into someone who manages everybody wayyyyy too much, and it’s too the point where it makes me hate the job.

I love the company, I love the client, I just struggle with my manager. I don’t know who to talk about it.

Omg I hope you’re not talking about me. But if you are, I’d want to be told “hey can I have a little room here to try this myself and check in with you on it in our weekly one on ones? That’s how I learn best, so if you’re ok with that, let’s try it!”

I am sure I’m not talking about you! Haha, but it’s almost in a different controlling way. Like they are almost dictate how the team has to manage things.

Worst part is I’m not the only one on the team that feels this way.

How about your manager?

If they’re good at managing in any way, they’ll hear you out and be willing to adjust working styles or come up with a plan that gives you opportunities for autonomy and runway.
