I’ve worked in different departments of my company, but I’ve never seen a GM this micromanaging. My new GM randomly texted me on teams today asking about my handling time because it was a bit over. Like… dude, you have team managers working under you for this! Why not let them talk to me instead? Do you really have time for this? Some people call him “very hands-on" manager but honestly, I just find him annoying.

How do you deal with managers like this?

Lol "very hands on" is a polite way of saying micromanager. These are the worst bosses. You just have to try to fly under their radar as much as possible and hope they'll be too distracted micromanaging someone else to ruin your day.

You are right and to be honest I have stopped caring about that now. I dont pay attenrion if he is listening to my calls or not as long as I am doing my job properly.

Micromangement often comes from a desire for control,clarity,or risk management rather than a lack of trust. In my experience the most effective way to handle it is through structured communication providing regular updates,clarifying roles and reporting lines,and clinging on expectations helps reduce unnecessary intervention,over time,consistent performance and transparency usually build enough confidence for the manager to step back and focus on higher level responsibilities.

He is already assigned to higher level responsibilities and I have seen him working for 10 hours but he still does not forget to bother people he does not have to.

Here’s hoping this is just because they are new. Many people come in and feel like they have to have a hand in everything. After a while, they learn they can trust the other people in charge and it works itself out.

I hope my manager learns it soon that he has to trust people and he can not be bugging his employees all the times.

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
