re: myself and my co-workers are being micro-managed

There's two causes to micromanaging:

1. The manager is an incompetent idiot who doesn't know what is going on and compensates by waving their arms around a lot.
2. The plant sucks and the plant manager who was called in was instructed to take everyone to task and hold them accountable and they are good at it.

Since the manager keeps catching everyone with their pants down, sounds to me like there are some accountability issues and you're embarrassed at getting called out for it. Maybe corporate thought it was time to break up the good ol' baw network and that's why they called in an outsider.

How close am I?

This person is my managers manager. 95% of us get our shite done, myself included. As an example, he asked me yesterday if I was going to do a monthly tabulation on something that can't be done until the month is over, which means i do this on the first of every month(today) and I've been doing it every month for 4 years. Just drives everyone nuts.
