‘Let your subordinates do their job!': New army commander demands to see every single report made, so nightshift soldiers call her 50 times a night

It doesn't matter what field you work in, if you were hired to do a job, the people who hired you should trust that you will do your job. Or what was the point of even hiring you in the first place, right? Unfortunately, there are micromanagers up the wazoo out here in the world, and that also goes for every workforce out there! It's annoying, but you are likely to come by a micromanager at some point in your lengthy career—even if you switch paths! 

 

In the case of this micromanager, malicious compliance helped put them in their place. This was a commander in the army, so the level of micromanaging was through the roof! I'm not going to pretend like I know army rankings and such, but just know the commander was not trusting her subordinates. Which like, isn't the army all about working as a team? There is no "I" in army!
