Worker Manipulates Meddling Micromanager Into Annihilating Their Own Work


There's nothing more satisfying than watching the slow-motion train-wreck implosion of a deserving person destroying themself. This micromanaging boss was manipulated into doing exactly that when they tried to pick apart their own work, somehow without even recognizing that it was their own.

As commenters have pointed out, doing shift work where the schedule was made by a different person every week would be absolutely maddening. There would be zero consistency with when you were scheduled, and requesting special dispensation to work around other life obligations would be a disaster. How would you possibly be able to communicate with each of them the nuances of your life? I've set rosters, and it's challenging enough to keep track of people's availability doing it week in and week out.

This sounds like an incredibly toxic way for a workplace to operate, and it's no wonder that people like this manager managed to thrive.
