Started a new position in creative in house pharma and my manager is micromanaging me. My Manager is not creative (they have a marketing title) and asks me to revise design on screen-- all the time. I have 15 years experience and hired as a supervisor as well. I only am in my first two months and I don't want to push it so I oblige. I have urges to tell them they don't know design and concepting but of course I can't do that... yet. I don't want them to think I'm a diva. What to do?

Type “micromanager” in the search field then choose “threads.” There’s a ton of advice. Personally, I’ve always found that micromanaging a micromanager gets them to back off.

You need to gain an understanding of what they are asking of you. You are not in a creative role, you're in a production role. You are a technician now. That's the demand of modern advertising. Clearly your employing company is attempting to be able to provide faster results than they would get working through an agency, but this is the way it goes.

You are the human operator tool of the marketer in this role. Saddle up.

Is there a significant difference in the benefits offered to employees working in-house compared to those working for an agency?

Walk them to it… Ask them about their experience in design.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
