Micro-managers type-1

Micro-managers doesn’t always need to be someone who does micro management of you — such as what time are you coming in, what time are you leaving for lunch, how much time you worked etc.

I personally feel — run away from them !

Micro-managers type-2

This is someone who takes your work and does more of it, before you start doing it. This person comes up with suggestions, strategies and sometimes solutions also even before you start your work.

Sometimes you would feel like — “why don’t you give me a problem statement and let me run with it. I know what to do, let me deal with it.” That’s the feeling you get when you deal with this person.

Do i want to work for them?
