I agree the article is more about stupid management but micromanagement is another aspect of stupid management. If there are over-detailed micro-goals and accompanying micro-status updates on everything, it devalues the employee. The goals have to have significance to the end product. When managers sweat over details that have no meaning they lose their authority. It leads to bad morale.
