[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boss is such a psycho I can’t telework and pay attention at all to my kids.  The moment the teams status goes idle, she calls.  Can’t have a flipping conversation about dinner without her knowing about it. Much less shovel snow off of my car.  Better put in for leave to do that too.

All of the micromanagers out there need to calm tf down.  [/quote]

thats messed up.  you work for a person with control issues.  I cannot imagine her supervisors being happy with that level of micromanagement.

My boss is great "Do your work and meet the deadlines.  I don't have time to sit there and monitor what you do all day.  Let me know if you need any help, otherwise, I'm not monitoring you."  Guess what?  Our team is one of the most productive teams in our agency.  It is amazing what good employees can do when you have a supervisor who stays out of the way.

Preach.  That is the kind of supervisor I aspire to be.  Unfortunately my direct supervisor needs to get out of the way so I can be that person for my team.  Please people, don’t be like my boss! If you  have parents with kids, trust that they will get the work done, until they don’t.   When my child was young and schools closed, I had a different supervisor—it was understood I’d be splitting focus during the middle of the day, but I always worked nights to make up whatever needed to get done.  Same with the Covid years.  Can’t imagine going through those years with my current supervisor!!! I would have quit.[/quote]
