| What to Do When You Think You’re Being Micromanaged | by Justin Hale |

| | I suppose I could butter you up and say this isn’t your fault and blame your jerk of a coworker. 😉 But I’m going to go a different route. I’m going to guess there are two possible reasons for your coworker’s behaviors.
He doesn’t fully trust you because you aren’t consistently reliable. He’s so stressed because of pressure being put on him, and he’s transferring that stress to you. |
