Tips for dealing with a micro manager who is also very new to his/her role. Also this is dealing with this person not telling them how I feel because that isn't an option at the moment.

You know how you can predict what's coming? Read the sow. That's the only thing that matters. You can predict what you need to do if you work back from what was contractually committed. Also, you can always start with a daily standup meeting. 15min max. "Success for today looks like..."

Hope that helps!

I can't get halfway through a task without a re-route or a pivot to another deliverable which I get but it's just so frantic

like

Schedule some time to go over "key responsibilities and deliverables" and maybe even make a document outlining those and how long you expect to spend on those items per week (or day?). Micro managers will love that you went the extra mile and they will enjoy seeing everything detailed out right in front of them. That opens the door to discussing how you'd like to be managed for those tasks

like

Over communication

Address the behavior and not the feelings. Consider communicating more what you're doing.

I think I'll wait two weeks before doing that @ACN1, we are firedrilling and there's no steady state to even guess or document upcoming tasks

Agh yeah that's a tough situation then. Stick it out and know that it'll get better! I've found it helps to figure out why someone is a micro manager. Is it from pressure above them? Are they simply bad at their job? Or perhaps this fire drill is making your manager act in ways they normally wouldn't but kind of need to right now. It usually comes from a good place but they don't understand that it isn't the most helpful

We are in the middle of starting the project so I know the work and what's happening but the day to day is just left and right ah!

Hi Fishes ,

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role. I was told all interviewers were really happy with me so she would be glad to arrange a reevaluation for the new role(I was interviewed by 2 Sr. Managers & an MD for Sr. Consultant role and will have to take another round with a partner for the managerial position). I tried following up thrice after, no response.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
