Is it just my subjective feeling or has the company never emphasized micromanagement as they are doing now?
I feel like I’m under the lens all the time. They create meaningless and unnecessary anxiety for their employees. I mean, it's not unusual here, but now it seems to me that they really want to make it harder for employees to do their job.

I guess if you are a token and you don’t know how to lead the default standard is micro-management…basically describes all the leadership at MRO
It’s always been a micromanagement company since i started. Tom and other VP’s are too afraid to ask questions or doesn’t believe them or direct his own direct reports….so he has a micro-management meeting every morning and lays blame to engineers that brief him…a$$ backwards. That’s the basic problem with the leadership at MRO…just take a look at Henderson, Tillman, et al…SAD
It became very clear during WFH that many managers are not needed. They've been made impotent, paper pushers with no decision making power. They are relegated to weekly staff updates and presentation makers. I feel for them.
Middle managers are in fear for their own jobs...because with the reduction in staff...what are they really doing? Are they even needed? So, they have to micromanage, because that is how they seem busy and useful to their management.
