'20 to 30 pointless emails daily': Pushy micromanager insists on being included in all client communications, gets schooled with malicious compliance
Being a manager is a delicate balance of a lot of factors. You've got to be on friendly terms with those below you in the pecking order without losing your authority, and you've got to be informed of what is happening in your team without overstepping the mark. These are things that sadly, many bosses seem incapable of, and it can become mighty annoying to work with. Sometimes, you just need to be trusted that you can do your job properly.
This is something that one project manager schooled their boss on when their levels of micromanagement became unbearable. Posting to r/MaliciousCompliance, they explained how their manager persistently tried to control their every action, to the extent they expected to be included in almost all their emails. It's fair to say that when they complied with this demand, things didn't exactly go as planned. It serves them right for being a workplace control freak.
