. . . I once had an inexperience supervisor, who micro-managed. I had to ask, “How do you like to be supervised? Macro- or micro-managed?”. I had to explain the difference. The response was “certainly macro-managed!”. Point made. Who says that a higher education doesn’t pay off? Thank-you “GI Bill” benefits and night school! lol! :)
I actually had a supervisor tell me to start using the number pad on my keyboard instead of the top row in order to go faster. I hated that she was micro-managing me (she would do this to me daily when she would walk by) so I resisted for months until one day I tried it and realized she was right. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to input numbers a lot faster. I still dislike micro-managing but there are times when it overlaps plain ol’ good advice.

Scott Adams did a Dilbert like this once.

I hate when they point to something on the screen and actually touch it; my laptop has a touchscreen.

This is harassment! Once again Rita is touching Jay and is violating his private space. Someone call the police.
