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 😢.

@Glisten I'll check them out.

I'm trying to get on my sewing machine today after taking my mother in law to a sewing lesson.

 these are the earrings my ex husband made me he gave them to me Thursday night. We went to the Albion for dinner --- we have dinner there with our old primary school and high school friend ---- we are trying to catch up more often --- life just gets full on doesn't it

I so so love them.

I purchase his jewellery but these earrings are just amazing. He sells it in Freo in a very cool ladies clothes store too.
