"Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky and the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs may sing words of praise for hands-on leaders (otherwise known as micromanagers). But most workers have a very different name for the people who hover over their shoulders: "coworkers from hell." A new survey of almost 3,000 workers by career platform Kickresume found that the vast majority of employees have at least one deeply annoying colleague-and micromanagers are ranked right near the very top of the list."
"For the average worker, that's just not how micromanagement feels. "It's hard to feel capable and motivated when someone is always second-guessing your every move," the report warned. "This kind of oversight often leads to resentment and can take a serious toll on productivity. It's why over a third of respondents named micromanagers as the most unbearable in the office.""
"Credit stealer. When you put in the hard work, but someone else takes the glory. The researchers say it undermines team spirit and creates a toxic environment in which people feel undervalued and unsafe sharing their innovative ideas. Micromanager. Sabotages self-confidence and can lead to resentment and lower productivity. Chronic complainer. "Their constant negativity can become infectious, spreading gloom and lowering overall morale," the report outlines."
A survey of almost 3,000 workers found 85% have struggled with an annoying colleague. Micromanagers and coworkers who steal credit ranked at the top of the list, with micromanagers narrowly behind credit stealers. Micromanagement undermines self-confidence, breeds resentment, and reduces productivity, with over a third calling micromanagers the most unbearable. Credit stealing erodes team spirit and discourages innovation by making employees feel undervalued and unsafe sharing ideas. Chronic complainers spread negativity that lowers morale. Personal space intruders and other behaviors contribute to a toxic workplace environment.
