Micromanagers are bad.
Arrogant and ambitious micromanagers are even worse!
Its one thing to have your boss scrutinize every single detail of your work.
Its another thing entirely when one of your colleagues starts thinking that only they can get things right.
Yet there they are, interfering and making your own job harder.
Things didnt work out quite as the ambitious micromanager wanted them to.
Youll find the full story as you scroll down.
Elsewhere, everything depends on your position, contract, and whether or not youre part of a union.
Thats on top of the fact that youd be working half the night on something.
Something that probably would have been finished sooner if your colleague hadnt arbitrarily restricted your working speed.
you could tell that your boss or colleagues are micromanagers by how they treat deadlines and communication.
Theyll probably be unrealistic about deadlines and demand lots of crunch time.
That can lead some individuals to obsessively monitor their employees and even redo their work.
In short, its exhausting working with people who micromanage.
It breeds resentment and further erodes trust.
And without trust, youre working at suboptimal capacity.
Your supervisor needs to know how their actions are affecting you.
But when you tell them this, try not to sound like youre accusing them of anything.
However, your supervisor has to be willing to actively listen to your side of things.
The reality is that many managerssee leadershipas a transaction.
However, thats a very limited way of looking at things.
