Agree- Ive found with a micromanager to overprovide info helps, Somehow, they realize they dont need as much info all the time....

It would be helpful to understand where the micromanagement comes from. Is it because it’s a difficult client? Are there team transitions happening & they’re trying to keep a handle on things? Are ppl making mistakes & they’re providing close oversight to get the team back on track? Or is it just this person’s personality? Sometimes micromanagement comes from a well meaning place, & having a feel for why could help you have an open conversation about the type of mgmt that works for you/your team

Kindness, just smile go home and relax then repeat just find a way to destress. We all have that one at some point in life. it will pass.

I beg to differ- survived a four year stint with a micromanaging boss- kept thinking it would change- actually had conversations to discuss why she felt the need to follow my every move. What did it result in? A daily end of day meeting to 'see what I screwed up that day -so she knew what needed to be fixed in the morning". Some people just are inherintly nasty.

Ask the manager to demonstrate. For example, "can you show me how this is done?"

that she can't do because she doesn't work at all

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.

I want to say I love working at my school, but I'm a little frustrated. Yesterday was bus driver appreciation and the teachers went outside after school to hold signs for them, amazing right?

Our sunshine said something to us a days after para appreciation day and my team, sped and grade team, both acknowledged us...

How do you handle this type of situation?

I’m currently in the process of accepting a promotion and have a say on the title. I’m moving up from an Enterprise Account Executive/Manager to a KEY Account Executive/Manager. Which one do you think pulls more weight and is more desired/interchangeable in the world of sales and my future career?

How do you assess your client time as billable or non-billable? We are currently reviewing our time card process and want to better establish groundwork for differentiating between the two. Further to that, do you have your time members log their time and categorize it as Billable/Non-Billable upon submission? or does the Account Manager review submitted time cards and assign each based on the work being logged?
