myself and my co-workers are being micro-managed

Our plant manager manages in a much smaller, more micro way. Microgament I believe it's called. Multiple people wake up every day with emails from him asking if we've completed menial tasks or intend to complete them when they are due. When things aren't done there's never a question of why we couldn't, it's a scolding. This person "ain't from around here" and I believe that he thinks all of us La folks are just dumb.

Better than having a micro penis.

From the northeast or Midwest? Worst kind of people to work for or with.

If tasks aren’t completed, he’s justified in asking why. Your best bet is to get ahead of the process. My suggestion:
Email him a frickin novel of your workday at the end of every day, including every time you update the sheet. Once he sees how much time it takes out of your day, he will cool it. If something wasn’t completed, put the justification down on paper and move on. If he scolds, point out the reason. He will feel like a dumbass if he missed the info provided.

So your manager is asking you if you will complete your task on time? I’d definitely be triggered.

He thinks you and your coworkers are incompetent idiots.

Are you like 18 or something?
Micro-managing bosses is like a thing man. They come and they go. It sucks why they are here though.
You have some options
1. Get a new job.
2. Do your job in a way that prevents being scolded.

Of course I don’t know any details here, but this is a telling statement. So when things aren’t done, you and your fellow workers are used to then telling your supervisor why you couldn’t do them after the deadline?
Is it out of the ordinary to report problems to your supervisor as they happen, before the deadline passes? If so, that’s something you should be doing.
I get that there are micro managers out there and no one likes them. But following up on deadlines and holding people accountable for them is pretty normal stuff.
But if, for example, a manager forces you to keep a log of how you spend every 15 minute increment of the day, allotting for every scrap of time… that’s micromanagement.

Tell him you’d have already finished if he left you the frick alone to do your job and further, if it will not be done on time, you will report the status at that time.
In the meantime, go bother someone else.

Sounds like he thinks you are lazy and don't do shite. Are you?

Sounds like he doesn’t take excuses and you and your coworkers have been late on a decent number of things.

Talking like that certainly helps disprove the stereotype of us Louisiana residents.

Do y’all miss deadlines and don’t keep your manager informed?
That’s fricked up.

I find the Midwest people to be no nonsense, nose to the grindstone types.
NE, in a very broad and sweeping generalization that certainly doesn’t apply to everyone, is full of assholes.

Would it have anything to do with your use of reflexive pronouns?

I would have to guess that the average IQ down here is lower than the rest of the country.

Sounds like your boss and my boss are the same person.
The worst part is he is constantly tinkering with how he wants management done.
