The Puppet Master Problem

Your manager re-does your decisions, checks your file every 30 minutes, and needs a status update before the coffee's cold. This episode names what's actually happening — and gives you three moves to stay composed and regain ground without burning anything down.

This one comes straight from the feed. Someone with two years on the job and a glowing performance review gets handed a 15-minute time-tracking spreadsheet. Just them. A trial. Meanwhile, a 25-year veteran at a Fortune 50 company is watching their boss crack open the same PowerPoint deck every half hour to leave comments in Teams — and the meeting is three days away.
These aren't edge cases. Surveys consistently put the share of people who've been micromanaged at some point in their careers at 60 to 70 percent. It's the most widely disliked thing a manager can do — and it has a real psychological cost.
The episode breaks down three forms this dynamic takes, why it's almost never actually about your performance, what it quietly does to the way you think about your own work, and three things you can say to start shifting the dynamic — without confrontation, and without losing your footing.
