For over a year now, I have been working at my job without issue. However, during the last two months, I have been experiencing micromanagement and nitpicking from my managers, which began after I made a comment that they did not appreciate.
Recently, I was confronted about a mistake I made in January, and when I was asked about my errors, I responded by stating that I felt constantly micromanaged. My managers were surprised by my comment and asked me to clarify. I explained that I received frequent updates on my work, had to fix minor grammar mistakes in my emails (even though others with worse grammar were not corrected), and received constant negative criticism that others did not receive. They told me this was to help me grow, and suggested that if I did not like their management style, I could quit. Despite this, I told them that I enjoy my job.
The fact that they do not acknowledge their behavior as micromanagement raises questions about their awareness of their management style and empathy towards my perspective.
