Hellobee Boards

I did for about two weeks when I started this job (he would sit in my office and read marketing emails I was writing over my shoulder and recompose them over and over again so it would take 2 hours to write an email... and he hired me because I can write). But then he got fired and ever since I've reported directly to the company CEO. Ha!

Yup! Not only did she micro-manage, but she also undermined me and took credit for work that I did. I stayed for 10 months before I finally got fed up and found a new job. When I went for my exit interview and they asked me why I was leaving, I told them it was all because of her. They told me that I was the 3rd social worker to leave because of her. And yet, she was still there.

Currently working for one and I think about quitting daily. I've expressed interested in moving around in the company, hopefully I expressed it loud enough!

I worked for a super micro manager a few years back - she was such a control freak! But it was as tough for her as it was for me as I had been on secondment in a managers position, covering someone's maternity leave, and had come back to work in her team - so you can imagine how much we were at each other's throats. We got on really well, personally, though (we're still friends actually) and when I was offered a new job, we hatched a plan and marched into her managers office, pretending to be having a bit fall-out. I slammed my notice on his desk - you should have seen his face!!! Then we both dissolved into giggles and told him I was leaving because I'd got a new job!
