I think micromanaging takes the trust out of teamwork;
it’s hard to do your best work when someone is watching everything you do and questioning every decision. Have you ever had a manager who couldn’t let go, even when you’d proven yourself?

Hands down. I always think micromanagers are control freaks. No thanks. They will make your work life a living hell

100% sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do.. it will never be right

Absolutely! I always had a manager rewrite my emails, was so annoying!

Rewriting emails is crazy!!!

I haven’t thankfully

You are sooo lucky!

The ones that want you to “take control” but then don’t ever let you. They are the worst, but a completely hands off manager can be just as bad.

Agreed, or they find fault when you do something but not their way

I used to have a supervisor who is very gaslighting and would exercise control over everything I do including the way I sit and how long I can be in the toilet for etc. She will get mad when I take initiative to help someone yet when I don’t take initiative she will also not be happy, so nothing that you do is right for her. Two-faced bosses like her are the most dangerous cause she will also use your vulnerabilities against you

100% agree, I’m sorry to hear you had to experience this! At a previous job we were given scheduled time for a break and everything was extremely structured- it definitely made me feel like I was back in school again

Yep. Have one now - it doesn’t allow you to flourish. I remember being told early on that my manager “likes things done a certain way”. Boy does this person ever.

Exactly, they may like something their way but how can anyone progress with this??
