Ugh been there, the lack of trust is so stressful and frustrating. What did your micromanagement look like?

For the particular company I left, there were about 600-700 employees (I believe), and everything I did had to get approved by the CEO. I worked as a UI designer, so all of my designs had to get printed out and placed on her desk for approval. If a color printed too dark but was the right color on screen, it had to get redone. It was frustrating, to say the least!

I'm sure I have more examples, but that is the one that was the most prevalent. The general lack of trust was a huge issue there.

Reviewing digital designs on paper is something else, especially if they're going to nitpick 🤦‍♀️ Feels like a CEO of a company that large should have better things to worry about!
