Micro management is killing my career.

For the past two years, I have been working as a software engineer at a service-based company. In this type of organization, employees are often assigned to different projects over time. Currently, my manager, who also serves as the team lead, has been engaging in excessive micromanagement. They seem to be nitpicking and closely scrutinizing nearly every aspect of my work, which I find to be a very frustrating and stifling experience. This level of micromanagement has made me feel uncomfortable and hindered my ability to work effectively. I am now considering changing jobs, as I believe this working environment is not conducive to my professional growth and development. Given the challenges I'm facing with my manager's approach, I am wondering if it would be a good decision to seek employment elsewhere. I am contemplating this move in order to find a work environment that is better aligned with my needs and allows me to thrive as a software engineer.

How to deal with a manager who instructs every bit of your work, takes technical decisions on their own without any consultation with the team, tries to breath down everyone’s necks, follows daily deadlines, work checkins 3 times in a day, irrespective of jira being in place, does not appreciate work, tries to eat credit and cries foul for smallest of issues?

Everyone is gung ho about Leadership..Leadership this..Leadership that..but honestly how many of us are really able to follow that? Don't you have to micromanage the team members? How do you find such motivated team members? Honest answers only.

How to tackle micro-managing Manager and Lead too😣 really need some good advices/points 🤧

Micromanager bosses are like overly attached parents who decide your diet, tell you what to eat and when and also give you instructions on how to chew. But it also has its BIG wins: - You will never be alone. You’ll never feel lonely. Your micromanager will be your constant shadow. Going to the meeting - he will be there. Writing an email, he will be in cc. Going the restroom - he is behind you. Having a date - he will stay on the call. Getting cozy with someone - He is right there.. in between you and ahem ahem. Thinking what to do next - He will be there in your thoughts, even before the thought of "I think" hit you. - No more decision making. Who needs to make decisions when every choice is made for you? Whether it’s the font size on your presentation, angle of your desk chair, your hair color, your last name, your baby's name, your heart rate, your BP, your death time - your micromanager’s got it covered. - You get free cardiovascular workout (Dhuk Dhuk.. lubdub lubdub.. you get the hint) - You will be one of those few who will experience the joy of meetings about meetings for those meetings that were not required - You will be trained to live in real-time surveillance conditions, where all your activity and movements is monitored and what you say is captured - you could be a contestant tomorrow on BIG BOSS OTT if you like - You would be the elite few who will get to experience New, follow-up emails, reminders, and gentle nudges tags on an email all within 5 minutes of each other - By the time you leave, you’ll have a black belt in stress management - By the time you leave, you would have lost weight - You will see increased commitment to work: You will sleep less, You will turn up to office on time, will work more and for extended hours - You'll save money - no weekends = no social activities and outings - With constant micromanagement, you’ll soon wonder "who are you" "why are you" "why are we" "why is everything" - first step of higher level consciousness

I'm feeling really stuck and frustrated at work lately. Despite putting in my best efforts and consistently performing well, it seems like my manager is feeling threatened by my progress. He’s been rejecting my ideas and work without even reviewing them, and calling me out in meetings for not completing non-priority tasks. The environment has become really toxic and it's taking a toll on me. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
