• MY BOSS IS A MICROMANA...
Have you had a micromanaging boss? What advice would you add to this video?
I just quit my job without another one lined up because somehow in the past couple months my manager's micromanaging got so bad it was destroying my mental health and i had no motivation to keep working there. In my exit interview with the CEO i told him to send her to a leadership seminar 🤭
I’m being micromanaged. There is NO way that I’m going to even try to speak with her. I’m done and have decided to move on!!
I hate to say this, but in my experience most micromanagers are women. I don’t know why this is so, but it is true.
Best way to deal with a boss who is a micromanager? Just wait until no more noise is coming out of their pie hole, then look at them and say "Yeah, OK." in a pleasant voice. When they walk away thinking that they've imposed their will, control, and dominion over you, just go back to doing what you were doing, since you probably know what you're doing better than they do.
The best thing to do is update your resume and leave for the next great opportunity. Micromanagers believe they are right on everything and tend to be insecure about themselves. They most likely see you as a threat...like they know you could do their job. So they gaslight you and try to make you feel you aren't that great an employee.
my micromanaging boss asks for countless reports and a report about the report that was already reported ....
Good managers keep their staff, bad managers loose staff. It's that simple...
I was employed to do a job which I have a lot of experience of, having to explain myself on a daily basis for every action I did or didn't do was too much..I lasted 2 weeks and walked. To me, micro-managing shows a lack of self confidence in the managers themselves. Let staff do the job they were employed to do, only intervene if they make a mistake or screw up; otherwise let them be. Nobody can work well or comfortably with someone watching over their shoulder every day or questioning everything they do...when will senior management take note. Staff leave for a reason.
What if the whole culture and structure is based on micro management? Sigh
It is so annoying when these micromanagers won't let you do your actual job. Then, they complain that this isn't what they expected.
I'm working for yet another micromanaging boss. I think these people are insecure, and fearful that a talented employee might steal the spotlight. My current boss's favorite tactic seems to be withholding information that is needed to do a particular job, but then pick it apart after completion. His identification of someone's mistake gives him the feeling of superiority. I have over 30 years' experience in the too-and-die trade, as well as a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I can only guess that I pose some kind of threat to their role as manager. Companies claim that they are desperately in need of skilled people, but today's managers don't know how to employ them. No wonder there are so many people who have simply had enough, and leave the workforce as part of the Great Resignation.
Yep. My first boss out of college turned out to be a micro manager and she utterly killed morale. The whole team would go outside during lunch breaks just to vent about her. I put up with her overbearing crap for a year before I finally had had enough and left. Haven't dealt with anything like that since, thankfully. Nothing like working for someone who admonishes you for taking initiative and getting things done as opposed to consulting with her first.
Best solution is to quit, they'll never change. I'm dealing with one right now and it's insufferable. She's constantly watching you and telling you what to as you're about to do it anyway, repeats herself on simple tasks, asks for updates when you barely started, wastes time correcting things her way when the work is already done, texts me before work even starts and lays out a detailed schedule down to the time. The best part is she comes in hours before her shift off the clock on her days off to tell us what to do and work, which means texting all that shit doesn't even mean anything if she's going to be here anyway. Apparently she doesn't have a life outside of work? It's AWFUL! The best part is I've worked there longer than she has and she knows less than me, yet shes still breathing down my neck. They want to know everything and control everything, it's stressful and not worth it.
Plain and simple: my micromanager doesn't trust me and thinks I'm incompetent.
another reason for micromanaging: trying to get rid of someone & looking for every oppty to criticise her work, sometimes deliberately to hurt her morale
I am definitely a high autonomy person and you’re right there is a difference between over managing and micromanaging.
My new supervisor is in my opinion the worst type of micromanager, she has almost no clue what my job entails yet is constantly trying to tell me how to do it. She insists she be included on all my meetings and emails but will still call me or message about what I’m working on. She also wants the team to document every task we do of everyday in our personal calendars and create cases of those tasks in another system. And on top of that, she schedules one on one meetings every day or every other day to again ask about what I’m working on!!! 🤬🤬 I’m so ready ready to tell her to leave me the the f*** alone so I can just do my work!!!! I shouldn’t have to spend more time telling you about it then actually doing it.
My boss will write my emails for me and then email them to me with everything written and a space left blank to put the person's name in. It gets really aggravating but on the other hand I'm getting paid 26 bucks an hour for this loser to do all of my work so its not that bad lol
The problem also is that micromanaging stems from narcissism and narcissists are never wrong and will snap if told otherwise. Although the sentiment here is good and it’s all very sound advice it doesn’t always work. This is what I’m dealing with currently.
