Would you rather is today's question.

With having more than one job, remote work is the best option, IMHO. Sometimes, the person you report to is either really hands off or totally the opposite and micro-manages.

I know the answer may seem obvious, but what would rather have? And how do you deal with micro-managers?

The problem with hands off managers is that when there are issues, sometimes they want you to handle it on your own and don't really jump in to help. I would still rather have that then a micro-manager though.

I completely agree, although with micromanagement, you also have someone always sniffing around your work.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid.

Does anyone have experience or advice?
