Micromanagers are good for you

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?

How do you deal with micromanagers?

Any managers here who could help verify the urge to micro manage everything that happens under them? I don't like being micro-managed for every task even after consistently performing well in my reviews and work in general. I feel micro management is hampering my personal growth

I thought I was the only one frustrated with meetings until my colleagues also mentioned they were not able to get work done because most of the day was spent on meetings Plus our boss (CEO) loves talking, anyway the meetings are agenda-less. He stretches 30 min calls to 2 hours and then has the audacity to question the productivity. Cannot tell me this, he gets very touchy when feedback is negative for him. And then writes sarcastic messages. Also, who wants to take up fights with person who pays your salary What to do in this case? I'm tired of working 12 hours each day

The one who - Keeps nagging with status updates - Pushes you to achieve a goal which is merely quantitative & not qualitative - Appreciates employees that show ‘first-benchers’ trait - Junks your ideas to satisfy his own ego - Pretends busy all the time Comment your experience dealing with such Managers.

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.

Culture, WLB etc.

So My Team has two leads mapped due to some personal favours from Manager as they are comfortable here. In my team everyone has its own deliverables doesn't matter if he's an associate or team lead. Few days back they tried reaching out to everyone for bandwidth. Everyone denied due to limited bandwidth . So they dropped an email copying manager that we'll have to give hourly updates to them everyday and they will also review our deliverables signoff. This really sucks. If any higher level folk is reading this , could you please guide us on how can we deal with this situation. As now they will escalate there work on our head.

I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much. It was quite difficult for me to get into this company and this job. The company is quite great and I was quite excited but some of the experiences I have had with my immediate manager have made me a bit apprehensive. I would like to share them and hear opinions about it. Here are some things which have happened which I have not liked so far - 1. I speak to a Senior Engineer one day and next day my manager asks me if anyone asked me to speak to him. 2. I shared an insight about a new tool which we can use on a deployment pipeline on the overall pod (under my skip manager). My manager immediately called me and started asking my status update and replied 'Discussing 1-1' in the group to prevent anyone getting visibility of the idea. 3. My manager pings me whenever I go offline and recently he asked me in a passive aggressive way, 'Please monitor your Teams status. It was away for most of today.' I now feel kind of paranoid to never get up as I feel my Teams status is being monitored.
