There’s a fine line between guidance and control. I once had a boss who’d rewrite every email I sent. How do you handle micromanagers without losing your confidence?

Very true

They are asking you to draft emails then redoing it? That is frustrating but read through what they wrote and see if there are things you could pick up to improve your writing. You may also learn that that particular supervisor likes things their way. One of my partners does this and the end result, at least in my opinion, is no better but that is what they want so I can adjust to give them what they want.

Yep! It’s so frustrating and quite demoralising. That’s a good way to think about it though.

I agree with the other comments, use it as a learning curve on how they like the tone of emails to be and then use it as feedback. I’m sure eventually they’ll calm down because there’s no way they can be checking all of your emails and doing their actual job

Absolutely, that’s a great way to think about it!

I’d quit so fast.

Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
