You're very welcome Patrick. You can do this. ❤️

Thank you for your comment. I agree with you, micromanaging is negative and affects employees' work performance negatively. 💯For employees that find themselves in this position and not able to leave their job due to financial and family obligations, or they don't feel safe to give that feedback to their managers for whatever reasons, they can try these tips to work around the situation they find themselves in.

Micromanagers are destroying companies that owners built. I don't think owners or CEO's know what kind of toxic micromanagers they hired. They always shift the blame onto the employees.

I wish you all the best. Try going into business for yourself. Do side hustles. These days there are a ton of apps like to help you earn.

Sounds like you tried! Glad you are able to find a better place!

I thought I was the only one! I thought something was wrong w/ my volume.

I'm glad it worked for you!

Because sometimes they're waiting for you to say something. Those managers just be crazy. And because you're working under them they're gonna treat you crazy lol... because they be wondering why when they shouldn't be. The job itself is crazy because you're not supposed to manage other adults that nobody has done thorough testing IQ wise. The whole day be a joke for a lot of people....and those managers always do what they technically can get away with and/or what you were gonna do anyway had they not said anything. And if you're coerced I say do it slow af til they realize they never should've bothered you...slow down and don't stress yourself. Get to saying you need more breaks. They're just patronizing passive aggressive gnats who know they're treating people in a way they wouldn't like; even when pleasant. They just cross the line and like it. You have to be sick if you think people wake up for a work day for you to be their job. Stay out of people's faces as much as you can if managing. They know what they're doing. I avoid that position because I think it's demonic and you really get used by the establishment and have to know too many operations and become obsessive. Its like a little sold out person who really is there to assist employees, customers, and everybody else is the gag.

Correct. Resisting signals to the asshole micromanager their tactics aren’t working.

You're very welcome Gideon!

You're welcome! I'm glad it's helpful!

Hi @kayaniasim8757! Year 3 and the meditation is still going strong. The only difference is I'm no longer leaning on apps to help me keep track and motivate me as it has become a part of what I do, like brushing my teeth! 🙂 The benefits continue in terms of helping me to keep growing and stepping up to new challenges. I highly recommend!

Great advice Tim!

It would be interesting to see if you could let go of the need to interject and probe what it is they need (help, listening ear, validation). And when they do need your advice and you provide your knowledge at the right time, it'll be even more powerful. They will remember that. Thanks for sharing.

@@coachling my problem is also OCD & ADD attention deficit disorder or something like each. I can have a thought in my head needing to ask a question about something and something or several something else’s be discussed and I not recall what my first question or two were about to ask. Best when I take notes but I also try to jot diwn what and when it was said to have context relating to my question and if I do too much of that I miss other stuff trying to formulate an abbreviated version of what was said that I wanted clarification about. I have lived in chronic pain with sleep deprivation since 20, I’m 66 now and had to quit work at 51 after 29.5 years in the commercial nuclear power industry. Lots of training, fast paced training, lots of material covered in a short period of time. I progressed from an apprentice in one field to a tech(senior position), part time supervisor, to technical engineer in that field and 4 more quitting as a senior tech engineer of about 20 + years. Chronic pain robs you of a lot of rest and attention span/focus, so I did written planning jobs over and over to make them detailed for techs and operations but condensed for senior mgmt as well to read quickly.

Sounds like you're doing your best given your health challenges!

Try it. ;-)
