I’ve been trying to give my manager feedback that they’ve started essentially micromanaging us and asking for unrealistic/unattainable and constantly changing targets, which has been terrible on team morale. She takes it as me complaining & not understanding that jobs have KPI’s. This is not my first job, I’m more than aware of how performance works. Every coworker I speak to feels the same & stressed. What can we do at this point?

It's good that you've already expressed your feelings and concerns for yourself and the team. So, in essence, you've done your part. Make sure you stay on top of your tasks and your performance because a manager who is insecure and micromanaging people to the point of this level of concern may take your feedback as a threat and not respect the place you're coming from, so tread lightly.

I'm glad you feel some empathy from your coworkers so that you realize you are not alone. Unfortunately these situations are difficult to change, and not all managers are great one (not always aware or willing to admit wrong). I would advise you to consider switching teams or even companies

Honestly, there's so many people like this out there - I usually take it as a sign of stress or really, that they aren't a good manager and don't want to confront that reality. I guess you have to go above their head att this point if they're not listening right?

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
