I QUIT! Micromanagement at work & Toxic managers ❌❌

All Things Grace

4,344 views

So I did it. I guess the micromanagement tipped it over the edge for me and I bit the bullet and QUIT (after months of back and forth 😅) I wasn't able to express my true creativity in this field of work and after a few years I really realised that this wasn't ME. Micromanagement looks different every where, if you ever feel you are struggling at work, speak to someone, if not work or friends, then definitely speak to your doctor (I did) Never stay silent if you are struggling. If you feel you are being treated unfairly at work then don't be afraid to voice your opinions because at the end of the day, it is your own mental health that will be affected x

So true, they make you doubt even the easiest things in common real life. You even doubt if the way you are making a sandwich is ok. When they do it in front of other people is so humiliating, it messes with the rest of your day and your personal life :(

I quit a toxic job & started working freelance. I’ve never felt so free before 🙌🏾

sounds exactly like my old manager. she had thousands of unread emails and would take weeks to reply but then went off on one when i didnt reply to her last min emails or changes 😂

Thank you for this video!! I started a new job 6 months ago and have been micromanaged since. I have never experienced this In my entire career. It is interfering with my personal life and I am starting to doubt my work and have a lot of anxiety. I have contemplated quitting then finding another job later because I don’t have it in me to wait to find something else. I just have to get out. Man how I took for granted past jobs where I didn’t experience this! What a nightmare. That’s again for this. Much love to you!

Same here and I feel so much better! The work I did for my previous company (E-com & multi-brand management) never ended, and there was always an intense sense of urgency so my anxiety was through the roof. I now have my own clients (in another area of expertise) and feel much better now. Wishing you the best💕

I was working for a micromanager from Feb 2020 till Jan 2024 had a little break for 5 months when she left the company and then she came back this evil witch 😢 she gave me no autonomy I was working in Property Finance, started off with Debtors and later on went into billing tenants ect my salary was never reviewed and this woman will literally mark my work with a red pen no positive feedback was ever given when another person was hired into our department the manager treated her so different and she could say she never wanted to take on certain task and management will give it to me, I had to leave her ,,,, this manager wasn’t a manager before and had no experience and I unfortunately became her guinea pig and ended up getting endometriosis and had to even go for surgery last year May , I quit in Jan this year I have some peace now

Enjoyable video. I loved my job initially but stress, accountability, litigation, and it came to a point where I was just filling in time, in which to reach early retirement. I retired at 55.
I was asked once how could the trust make the job more appealing, I answered give more holidays so you spend less time here!

I’m also about to quit my job due to a micromanaging Director. I’ve done so before for the same issue! It’s so hard to find good managers nowadays! So many of these companies are the same and they are all have awful managers on power trips! Working is NOTHING how it used to be years ago. It’s very sad because these types of managers push great employees away! 🤦🏽‍♀️

These events are mostly happening everywhere taking advantages lowering others status these private third party businesses creating own polices by unfairly positioning & are not effectively treating there employee as equal citizens it's all about modern slavery, lack of inspections & security is very weak & theres no level of respect then best way is distance yourself from these jobs to have a relief & for them who has pride/hate/misuse others will never feel peace or achieve happiness (May God succeed your journey ahead give you ability to ignore the past & move on) Its part of life good & bad moments it's all a test inside nature

Grace,

Here's my situation. I am also stressed out. I needed to request a transfer. I could not handle the site anymore.

Waiting for my boss to find me a new site. I had to leave the lawfirm account. Too much drama, too much politics. Putting a dead mouse inside my security blazer with an attached threatening post-it message is the straw that broke the camel's back. It is a toxic environment.

I worked there for almost 2.5 years. The silent treatment became unbearable but the dead mouse and threatening note did it for me. Monday night was my last day. I am now a man without a site anxiously waiting to start working at a new location.

People are really mean which is the main reason why I love to be alone. Thank God I have enough sense to save money for a rainy day. I hope to be at a site in the next few days.

You say?

I’ve worked in HR for 11 years and I’ve worked in Payroll 3 times before I quickly got out of it when I saw how miserable all the ppl were in the payroll department. The payroll managers are ALWAYS nasty and mean to their employees.
