Micromanagement is a much more serious issue than what people think of it as. It's pretty brutal and can often leave people with mental trauma for life. It's akin to infantilization. It's de-humanizing, degrading, psychologically abusive, and a sure sign of a sick workplace.
Micromanagement is a great way to make employees feel burned out in short period of time.
I just called out my manager for micromanaging. She said “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
Later on, I found this video and yes, thank you for confirming exactly what is going on.
Leave that place
"I'm sorry you feel that way" translates to "I'm unwilling to look at my behavior and refuse to change". Like Pentax said, leave for your sanity, because they will never let go control.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" is LITERALLY the Narcissist's Apology.
I worked at one job where the manager cursed at me for not micromanaging my team. He had my 2 weeks notice the next day!!!
Good for you!
I asked to be transferred to another boss because my current one was micromanaging me. I was denied 3x by upper managment. After several months it just got worse. It was irrelevant that I was the top producer and had no say in the matter. I started having serious health issues to the point I was considering resigning. It took a 3 letters from my doctors to finally grant my transfer. I probably ruined any chances of moving up in the company as I could tell upper management didn’t like that fact I went to HR and told them about my health issues. The company doesn’t value top performers which makes no sense. They just want obedient workers that play the game. Those who kiss the most ass gets promoted. I’m looking for another job as we speak.
Good luck with your job hunt!
Unfortunately, thats how it is in lots of places.
I'm in a similar situation. I hope by now you have a new job where you are valued for your work.
@@PearlPaisley thank you.
Micromanaging is also when the boss send you the most gossip coworker that spreads gossip from one department to the other but that coworker is a personal friend of her to watch over you even if you are doing
an excellent job. Envy is when they both together start yelling at you to cause problems to you so you get fired from work. I hate micromanaging and the toxic work environment in all its forms. You complain to the superiors and they don't do anything just to micromanage the hard workers when the lazy workers as long as they are friends get all the benefits. I live on a Southern State in USA and that problem here is terrible and out of control in many jobs.
That is very specific. But what a great example!
Being told you can't leave the company premises for lunch breaks when they're unpaid.
Had a job like that before. Straight up enslavement conditions
management flipped out on me when i blocked time out on my calendar without "Asking". My 2 weeks was in their inbox the next morning.
Good for you!
I quit my job because of this. My ole mgr drove me crazy. She didn't even know our job.
Left a job that questioned everything I did despite having lots of experience and could work very well independently not to mention going home early,clocking out for breaks alot!
I was micromanaged by a crazy guy in France in welding industry. Every time asked if I did that or this, called me multiples times when he was in business trip and asked me to tell everything I did during the day. What a sick person. Gave me a lot of pressure, scolded me because I did my best and helped clients because my manger thinks I did more than my functions (he did same things and he said I can but you can’t lmao). He didn’t cared about my opinion, I was like statue or object. I was every time afraid of him . He didn’t care about my boundaries He judged my family and parents . He did illegal things just to please his favorite clients behind CEO Back. It’s hard. I’m so glad I left the place. What are your recommendations to ask before joining a new place and avoid potential micromanagers
Here's another one but not sure if it's relevant to micromanagement. Your manager knows you don't like the way they treat you so they send a co-worker to you who starts a chat with you about shit stuff that's happening at work and how they're annoyed about it so you agree with them and share the shit stuff you've been through as well, including how your manager is treating you, which eventually gets reported to your manager. Oldest trick in the book? Maybe but I still fail to see the signs haha
yessss
There's a special place in hell for that person who reports back to the micromanaging boss.
I once had a macromanager turn into a micromanager in the blink of an eye.
When a "floating" manager decides to use your boss as his mouthpiece and then they contradict each, which leads you into trouble and being gaslit.
My current predicament, I feel you.
I was so blind but now I see the light. This is soo crazy true. I experience this everyday. I’m a devotional worker never call in go beyond expectations while earning little pay, and using my own personal vehicle maintaining 6 different properties and managing a storage facility. Everything that was mentioned my bosses has done. And still continues to do nonchalantly I don’t mind the work I just feel like I can’t be trusted when I’ve proven time and time again that I go to work to work and take little to no breaks it may be my way but at least it’s being done right and in a timely manner. Ugh well this confirms it, although I don’t wanna I have to look for another job that will pay and trust me to do the work I was assigned to do. Without all this bs. Thanks for this information I will like and subscribe
Trust is the most important thing in all relationships - including work ones.
I got pushed out of a job with that.
Sounds like they did you a favor.
Every job I've had in my entire life has been micromanaged to the point i self harmed at work as I suffer from emotionally unstable personality disorder and thst excerbiated it
I'm so sorry! I have CPTSD from early childhood trauma and my toxic workplace is making me have S ideation.
I'm trying to stick it out just a few more months so I can use my dental benefits to get my poor teeth fixed. Idk how I'm even going to get thru til Friday at this point. I'm empathizing with you so much. I wholeheartedly believe those of us who are empaths, neurodivergent and/or struggle with mental health conditions unfortunately are magnets for these types of toxic managers/workplaces. Just know you're not alone and that We deserve better than this ❤

Thanks for the video.
My old boss was like " why are you still using your old mug? what happened to the company logo mug that I gave you yester day?😄
That's extreme micromanagement
This was great!
I worked a job where I had to put appointments on calendar that management could review. If I forgot moor had technical difficulty they would “ remind” to put all appointments on calendar to be sure I got billable daily especially if I was in the community. I said my case notes show where I was and I what I do. They wanted to know in advance. So much for flexible schedule.
Trying to control employees is always a sign of mistrust. Trust is the cornerstone of
a healthy company.
I worked in accompany where I took notes of my taskswithstart and end times, title and details of it.
Not sure what you mean, but it doesn't sound like a blast.
i was microdamaged
Join the club!
Unfortunately, I think MICROmanagement leads to MACROdamage.
I worked in a place where I had to darken the number 8 if the number 8 written didnt "look right" to them. Then put my initials by it. I still have no idea to this day what the issue was with that number 8. lmao.
That's insane! Good thing you're not at that job anymore
it’s depressing people like this that made me have my own business for 10 years, loneliness bought me back and here i am again with a carbon cutout version of a work Nazi - upsetting everyone and it’s day 3.
Being micro managed and I don't work n haven't worked anywhere that would do this. I believe it's husband his family as well as my family. What should I do? I would never consent to this sick mess.
I just resigned from a job due to to toxic micromanagent work place
MICRO-jament 😂 That’s narcissistic behavior.
I don’t answer phones 📱 outside of work time.
We are happy for you!
Apparently they don't know WHO i am?
I Have Been micromanaged and Bossed Around By Tina on What i Eat and When i Eat and Samething With What Time i Go to Bed but Thing is No one is entitled to take charge of what or how much another independent person eats. The truth is, it's a thankless task, it doesn't help anybody and it can sometimes make the person's eating worse and With Being The Bedtime Police ’’’No one is entitled to take charge of what Time when another independent person Goes to Bed and Get’s up in the Morning’ My Mother Use to Tell Me When Someone Tell’s you to Do Something it Make’s You Not Want to Do it’’’that’s Exactly What Being Micromanaged by Tina Doe’s to Me’’and the Other Micromanaging Tina Does is Ordering Me to go on Three Long Walks a Day and if I Don’t Do as Many Steps as She Want’s She Will Be unhappy ‘if I Do as Many Step’s as She Wants i Will Get a Prize’’’’i Wonder if i Had Girlfriend or Was Married How my Partner Would Be With That Micromanaging ?
