I detect sarcasm here, but that's ok. The thing is that suggesting things isn't very productive. If you want employers to pay you a lot of money and not tell you what to do, you should demonstrate that you're worth a lot of money and work best without being told what to do.
- derefr 17y agoIf you currently work equally well when you are or are not being told what to do (let's just call it micromanaging, because no one really minds high-level being-told-what-to-do), and you don't want to be micromanaged, should you negatively bias your micromanaged output so your managers will stop doing it as much?
- j_baker 17y agoIf you enjoy being passive-agressive, then I suppose the answer is yes. My point was more along the lines of saying "don't think that just because a blog post says you're a free electron, that you're going to automatically get job offers lining up for you." You should get jobs because you are a good match for them. If you currently feel micromanaged, you're better off hitting the problem head-on. Either find out why you're getting micromanaged and correct it, or find a new job.
