What do I do if my manager is ultra super micromanaging, she just called me out on an extra space in an entry in an analytical graph I created😱 not a big deal to me but she said it was unacceptable. Like idk what to do, I need the job and I’m still missing a long time to make the pivot to another company😩

What you're describing is a bit annoying but it's not exactly micromanaging - your M is paying attention to detail. Not sure if this is a weekly status update or a deliverable, but if the latter, you can't have those spaces in there.

That said, she should just fix it and move on.

So she's doing her job by ensuring high quality products?

Again, a bit annoying, but don't see the issue. If you're in consulting / PE / banking, this is table stakes and expected for As/SAs to pay attention to.

Are you careful with paying attention to detail?

Get a new project

For that I just shoot myself in the face, I have 4 projects ongoing at the moment, she’s getting on my nerves already. All the other upper managers are happy with my work, but nobody says anything about her

But nah it’s all good. I’ll see how I can get out of this. Thank you so much guys for the great comments 🙏
