Micromanager Ends Up in the Cross-Hairs of a Poorly-Worded Write-Up After Scrutinizing the Wardrobe of the Company's Most Talented IT Guy

There's nothing worse than getting your outfit nitpicked at work–especially when you're not even in a client-facing role. This all-star IT guy taught his micromanager a lesson in corpo-etiquette after making his own rules in the back-of-house. Because when there's nobody to judge your outfit besides a couple of servers, an old coffee machine, and your dusty ol' laptop, you might as well dress for comfort.

However, the micromanager in this story decided to muck up the dynamics of a department where he didn't belong. After a long-standing manager found a newer, better job with another company, there was a leadership vacuum in the IT department downstairs. Without a thought, the position was filled by a brown-nosing, nitpicking manager who decided that he wanted to change the place up to fit HIS idea of the ideal computer department. But u/richie65 didn't want to see his 'office attire' get reduced to unSUITable discomforts. Read on for the whole story (and eventual firing) of a micromanager with no sense for fashion.
