I am working at a company where my boss was a micromanager. It was a very frustrating experience for me and for everyone else in the company.
Everything was great until my boss start to micromanage and people start to leave
When I first started working at the company, I thought it was a great place to work. The work was interesting, the people were friendly, and the atmosphere was very positive.
But then a few weeks into the job, I started to notice something strange. My boss was constantly hovering over us and trying to micromanage every little thing we did.
At first, I just thought it was a bit strange. But then, it started to get out of hand. He would give us tasks and then micromanage us while we were doing them. He would question our decisions, he would nitpick our work, and he would generally make us feel like we had to do everything exactly the way he wanted it done.
This was very different from how the other bosses in the company treated us. They were more relaxed and understanding. They gave us the space and freedom to do our work in our own way and they trusted us to do it right.
But this was not the case with my boss. He seemed to think he was the only one who knew how to do things and he micromanaged us to the point where it became unbearable. As time went on, more and more people at the company started to resign.
Everyone had had enough and they just couldn’t take it anymore.
It was a very difficult time for me and for everyone else at the company. We all just wanted to get our tasks done and we were definitely capable of doing so.
But with my boss constantly hovering over us and micromanaging us, it was nearly impossible.
He just couldn’t see that his micromanagement was causing more harm than good and it was causing people to leave the company.
