Re:Way to Deal with a Micromanaging Boss

Have walked into roles where managers were used to dealing with nothing but jr developers.
Some have backed off when they realized I know what I’m doing. We have a good working relationship.
Others double down hard, and take it as personal insult that I’m not going to be micromanaged. These cases end badly.
Others give try to micromanage, I let them know I’m not going to follow their rules.
They don’t actually care what I do.
But they keep trying.
Basically pretending they are managing me.
These situations are depressing and sad.
To contrast.
Then there are the ones that just point a general direction and encourage good team dynamics. I love these ones
