Is My Boss Helping or Hovering? The Micromanager Dilemma

I’ve been at my job for a year now—solid pay, awesome coworkers, and a hybrid schedule. But my boss? She’s got me questioning my sanity. She’s in her late 50s, I’m in my early 30s, and every day feels like a masterclass in micromanagement. She wants to be CCed on every email, rewrites my slides, and insists on daily check-ins. I once had to do three dry runs for a presentation, only for her to stop me halfway and give feedback longer than my talk! It’s like, do you want me to lead or just be your assistant? The wild part? She’s genuinely kind and supportive—just obsessed with control. I love my work, but her style is exhausting. Is it just me, or would this drive anyone up the wall? 😅 What would you do if your boss was both your biggest supporter and your biggest headache? 🤔 #workplace #micromanagement #career #JobCareer
