This has been my experience as well. I just left a company after only six months because my boss was the most hellish micromanager I've ever encountered in my almost 30-year career. I asked him repeatedly to just give me a list of what he wanted done and leave me alone to do it, but he insisted on being a hinderance and causing all kinds of technical debt. I told H.R. during my exit interview that working for my boss was like having Tilman Fertitta, the owner of the Houston Rockets, run out on the court every five minutes to stop the game and show his professional players how to dribble correctly. It was absolutely ridiculous! I don't know why companies keep micromanagers around. They don't help and in many was detract from the company's success. If nothing else, they drive talented employees, who know they don't have to put up with that shit, out of the company.
