My old boss micromanaged the heck out of me. Really wish that was negotiable. Have you thought of ways to negotiate something that helps lessen the interaction between your team and boss (besides wfh)? How can we prevent that? Maybe not possible.

I’ve had micromanaging bosses before. Usually they back off after a while, they need to establish trust that you’ll follow their model of work and their preferences. Sometimes I prefer the micromanagement because if I do something on my own and it’s wrong, I’ll be fully blamed for it. It’s more difficult for that to happen when there’s a trail of conversations with a micromanager showing that they made you follow a wrong direction. Ideally though they’ll just be hands on for a few weeks and then forget about you for a while. They get tired of micromanaging if they see that you’re following their process.

My boss went from micromanaging to particular about certain things. It took a while for even that. I was able to sit down with them months into the job and talk about expectations, concerns they had, and just worked a lot with them on every little detail. It wasn’t perfect, but they did ease up a bit after that.

Some managers are just that toxic. Have you tried asking for regular check-ins so you don't get interrupted constantly? Your boss might like that and look forward to it vs micromanaging you. They are really seeking transparency. Be proactive with your updates and that may help as well.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Hello everyone I worked as a house remodeler before I got Covid now I am handyman/maintenance/property manager I would like an idea of what people are charging

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
