I have an manager who is micromanaging and patronizing. Other than having a good attitude, how do I communicate my frustrations? Obviously, word for word isn’t expected since you don’t know my situation but some methods of approaching it would be helpful!

Would having a conversation with them be an option? You can voice your concerns about not having the ability to get work down or whatever the specific issues are, and maybe get some insight into why they are micromanaging in the first place. That, or malicious compliance, can be a bad take though.

I would try discussing with him and if that doesn’t resolve than go to HR or his boss if you know him or her well.

Sorry to hear that
