Question

1 being fully autonomous

10 being crazy helicopter bosses

Accepted Answer

I'm probably around a 2-3 which I'm cool with and can appreciate. I wouldn't like more and any less I'd most likely feel underappreciated..

I sit right around a 3 which I'm content with

I’d say the first week of the month is a solid 10 then when they worry it’s a solid 3 towards the end of the month. Micro management is shit.

Answer

2 from my direct manager. Which I am fine with.

Answer

My personal believe here is that most folks who believe they are micro managed are really just being managed, and are generally not coachable.  Folks who say things like “I hit my number, I just want to be left alone”, etc.  Process drives consistency in hour paycheck and target achievement.
