You know the ones... they have to talk for the first 20 minutes of EVERY 30 minute meeting just to 'explain' what their directs are supposed to cover and then give their directs 30 seconds before cutting them off and talking for another 20 minutes.
Tell me about your micromanager.

Thankfully not my manager now but I used to deal with this guy that would want to proofread any email you sent outside of our department before you sent it. And then would sit on it for over a week because he was busy. And then the person you're trying to email is all pi---d off because you took over a week (or more!) to respond. It was incredibly insulting. Was so glad when they shuffled that AVP to somewhere else.
Yes, this goes on across many departments within MetLife. It's been commented on various surveys over the years; senior leadership simply do not care. They themselves cannot admit their mistakes in placing the wrong people in managerial roles. Try not to stress, it's not worth your peace of mind or self worth.
