What should I do when I'm being constantly micro managed at work?

[Anonymous]

My work is usually being corrected when I'm not around.

I noticed she does some of my work

I have to frequently check in when I'm going on break.

She blames me a lot. There's miscommunication

At first I didn't want to quit

I'm thinking maybe i need tougher skin. I've never been treated like this at work.

I am new and apparently I've been late a lot to work. So I've been taking initiative on leaving way earlier for work. But still getting blamed and micromanaged. What can I do?

Since when is it a problem when others do your work? They are the losers on that deal. You do know that it's team work right so people will touch and modify each others work. Unless the changes are for the worse, you don't have a problem, you can learn from it. Otherwise you have a discussion with the person that changed it, so the team keeps a high quality product.

Yes I understand. I just dont want to be a failure. And the pressure I'm putting on myself and making sure I succeed at the job is psyching me out I guess

The regional director who I used to work with was like that. (Former job.) Not only that, but he wanted me to micromanage. Funny thing that a few years before that, I overhead HIS boss (a vice president) tell him that he was micromanaging (in a stern voice). I guess he never "got it" that micromanaging is not a good management style.

By a supervisor or equal coworker?

A supervisor

Oh, well it could be that she's worked there so long, it's just second nature. Like maybe she's not even judging you just making sure it gets done. My stepmom was like that at her job. You'd think she hated everyone, but naa, she was just set in her ways.
Maybe approach them with no attitude or animosity, but ask them if there's anyway or any things you can do to make things run smoother. Pretend you're interested in excelling even if you're not. Those types always like to feel appreciated from my experience.

She's been making me feel terrible. But what in my control is how I feel. I've also been muted at a meeting for work on zoom. I've been silenced twice. The ceo however has come to me for help and people noticed. I dont want to quit to give them the satisfaction and I dont like kissing ass. I do feel she lacks trust in me so I'll do what you suggested but I don't know things aren't at a good place. The hiring manager says one thing while the office manager says another different thing. For example. We dont mico manage here. Office manager: micro manages

Muted on a zoom meeting, ouch. If it gets to you too bad, just go to her supervisor, especially if you don't want to quit. Tell the upper management exactly how you feel and how she's treating you. Don't let one assbag ruin your anything 💪🏻
