Come on. Never heard of that happening. But, you know, yeah, she's a terrible manager, doesn't know how to allocate her time or empower her team. And I don't know. These are all possibilities. And our friend obviously did not know she would be working under this other micromanaging boss. But I'm confused. Like, why chase her for seven months? Tell her that she admired her work for so long.

Right. And so I can't help but wonder if there's just anything else that would explain why this shift happened. Like your direct manager, is she on top of you because she's annoying and insecure? Or is she on top of you because she needs something and you haven't learned how to work in the way that she wants? I get that it's demoralizing and stifling. I would feel the exact same way.
