He is a micro-managing, power hungry idiot!
There. I feel better now.
 
I feel for you! I hate a micro-managing boss! They spend so much time looking over your shoulder that you wonder how in the world they get anything done themselves.

My current boss may have lots of faults but I am very, very thankful that he does not micro-manage. As long as your work is getting done properly (on time and quality work) he backs off and lets you do it.
 
I'll add to your vent: My boss looks at me and sees $$

To prove my point, my boss wants me to charge a company $15 and bill her $10 (the company cuts her a check). So she gets to keep $5. But it's only because someone messed up and inconvenienced ME that I can bill the company in the first place (which cost me time and money, not her). She just sees an extra $5 in her own pocket, she could very easily let me "have" the $15.
 

At my first job when I moved to Las Vegas, one sales rep would ALWAYS be at her assistant's desk - going through her drawers, moving papers around, taking files then putting them back. We figured she did this to "check" on her assistant to see how far along her contracts were, etc. - just no confidence that anyone was good enough to do HER work.

About a year later, our department worked out of about 10 hotel rooms until new office space was ready. Two months later I was asked to work with this micro managing sales rep. For her to come to my desk, she had to leave the room she worked in, walk down the hall the length of four hotel rooms, and come into the room where the assistants worked. She did this exactly twice - come to my desk, open a drawer at MY desk and ask me if I needed anything. I just looked at her both times and said NO.

My last boss was a cocky no-neck little nazi.
 
I hear you.

Last Friday I worked with my boss until 11pm. This friday I got out by 6:30, cause boss was off golfing. Don't have any problem working late. Have a problem workig with him.
 
My boss is alternately a micro manager or cares nothing about how the work gets done including the work he has assigned himself

It is very hard to deal with right now he"s in a micromanaging phase

sorry about the lack of punctuation my computer keyboard is busted

I'd like to be the company auditor. She'd be out of there so fast her head would be spinning.

Word of advice, don't go along with it!!!
