Some managers spend way too much time micromanaging than getting anything productive done. We all know what it's like to have a manager who seemingly has made it their only job to watch you like a hawk. Perhaps that intense vigilance is just in your head… just kidding, you're probably not wrong. Most people with authority like to spend more time flexing that authority than using it for good. In fact, when I have found myself in a position like this employee, I don't even care if the manager uses their forces for good. I just want them to get off my back and let me do my job in peace. Unfortunately, micromanaging people also do not have the greatest understanding of the art of letting go, so you're pretty much stuck with them until someone quits or gets fired.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/HomocusPocus, who found himself getting constantly threatened by his micromanaging boss Dana. Dana put OP on an important project and told him they would look stupid if he forgot something again. However, OP had enough confidence to know that if Dana really tried to get OP in trouble, OP would likely be safe given that he is a top-performing employee. That's exactly what ended up going down. Not only did Dana end up embarrassing herself in front of her boss Frank, but she also ended up unemployed. Keep scrolling below for the full play-by-play. When you're done, here is another story about a Karen and Kevin boss duo who threatened their employee.
