[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's due to the field I'm in but I've dealt with several micro managers in the past.  The way I saw it, the micro managing part is part of their Type A detail oriented personality and what made them good at their job.

There were some that I knew I couldn't work for and left.

But in some ways I appreciated some of them as well.  As they contained a wealth of information to learn from.  As they usually were experts at what they were doing and is why they wanted things a certain way.

Even more so after a change from what others called a micro manager to a manager that was more hands off and not involved in the things that we did.  That caused problems in itself and between the two I might pick the micro manager.

As others said see if you can learn to work together as the previous posters mentioned.  Hopefully you can learn from the manager as well.  But if things become unbearable you might just have to leave before your original three year plan is up.  But there are all types of issues with managers.  Micro managers, managers who are not involved, managers who are not qualified, managers who do not develop or support you, etc.  So there might run into issues with other managers as well and they won't be guaranteed to be better than your current one.

Hope it works out![/quote]
