Which Is Worse - A Fly or a Micromanager?

Do you work for a micromanager? You may not know you are under the spell. If you feel like there is a fly in your office constantly bugging you, then it just might be your micromanaging boss.

Here are the signs:

1) You never have complete authority to do what it was you were hired to do.

2) The work you were hired to do is being done mostly by your boss. Worse yet, they are re-doing your work. Ugghh!

3) Your boss wants an account of everything you do. The status report from hell.

4) Your boss must approve everything.

5) You feel like your boss is always checking up on you.

6) In crisis, they are breathing down your back.

Get the idea?

Typically micromanagers hire micromanagers. So look out for your boss’s boss. S/he might be micromanaging your boss. So what you bring to the table is almost zilch.
