I still remember the day I got a micromanager when I was a programmer. Previously, I had a manager that was fairly hands off and just let me follow my own path with very little intervention. At that time I produced fairly good work.
The moment I got the micromanager my productivity dropped and I lost interest in the job. I hate having someone constantly check on what I am doing. I quit the job because I started hating it so much.
Now I have a boss who only ever communicates with me when I get something done and I come to them first. It's the best and I am very productive. So, I think one size definitely does not fit all.
- javier2 4y agoI also really, really hate this. I think its because I take it as a violation of trust.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoIt is a violation of trust, but it's more than that. It's also a violation of my mental space. I need space to think and not be herded like a lamb. I get that not everyone is like that but I am very independent so I don't work well in these environments. However, to be fair, I don't work well in any corporate environment either so there's that.
