Dealing with micromanager

Dealing with micromanager

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this in this forum.

I have a new manager at work and she is an anxious micromanager. My previous manager was so lovely and supportive. I think if I hadn't had him as a manager I would have lost my job with everything I deal with at home with husband with cptsd, family estrangement, protecting my kids etc.

I feel that with this new micromanager, it is yet another person I have to support mentally (I understand micromanaging comes from a place of fear, insecurity and anxiety). Any tips dealing with this? I guess I can't take another psychological load. I can't change jobs either at the moment so I am stuck with this lady. There's also no option to tell her about my struggles at home. Another team member is going through looking after her husband who is in palliative care and this manager had been less than supportive.

I'm tired 😢.

Re: Dealing with micromanager

@ParadiseFlower thank you for sharing your experience. My manager is based in the US so the HR rules are a bit different. In the end HR always protect leadership...it's my experience anyway. I am tired today. Too much on.

I'm glad you left your toxic situation and I hope you are now doing something you love.

Re: Dealing with micromanager

@tyme ,I'm OK. I feel burnt out though and have so many deadlines. I think I just need to get through these 2 weeks and then think about how to handle this manager.

Thank you for checking on me 🥰

@PeppyPatti The textile artist Jo Elbourne.

There are few Danish textile artists I admire. They have a great sense of texture and functional design.
