Then instead of bitching about it, why don’t you do your fricking job and prove to them that you’re not dumb?

Sounds like little Mr. Man is taking his job way too seriously.. Had a Sup. like that.. No one liked the guy and he knew and tried to play it off like he didn't care. He took it out on his subordinates. People went to HR and he just moved his hate around..

I don't micro manage per say, just make sure shite is happening on schedule and as it should. And I do email people and ask them if shite is complete.

Sounds like you don't want to work. lol

Quit or figure his shite out.
If he is emailing only “certain people” then maybe those “certain peopl need to be emailed because of past failures. If he is emailing you every morning then fricking send him an email the night before to let him know the crap is done.

menial tasks


Sometimes these menial things actually serve a purpose and you don't realize it until you move up to a certain level. And a lot of times the orders are coming from higher up. If you suddenly have a new manager (and one who is micromanaging), the reason could be that the last guy wasn't getting everything the higher ups wanted done

Not saying you're not correct in your assumption, you probably are, but I've worked for a few people everyone called micromanagers who weren't really- they only seemed like it because (a) everyone just fricked around all day, and (2) I lacked a context as to why certain things are important within the company structure

There's both an arrogance and a general sense that southerners are dumb that both groups share.

Are you a bunch of baws who never get anything done on time and because you couldn’t do it on your own you now have to be micromanaged?

Cause that’s what it sounds like.

Not much else damages company morale like this. People needing to justify their positions in any way that they can.

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.


Sounds like a good manager. Get off TD and get to work

Considering it sounds like a recurring theme of “things aren’t done”, I can understand his frustrations.

The way you worded this sentence tells me that maybe he's right...
