@Punches I had some great bosses, some average, but THIS guy. 🧐

@Mamapolo2016 I had a micromanager at some gas station job years ago, it was funny because he was horrified of the "higher ups". There mere mention of their names made him tremble in his boots.
What is funny in any corporate type job, the higher up they are, the longer their title, and it is suppose to strike terror into anyone below.
Like, "Oh my GYOD, the Milky-way intergalactic solar system planetary continental national regional district manager is going to visit!" 😰I would think, "Oh, you mean the space cadet" 🥱
Mama here is a funny one - it has been said, "If you are doing what you are suppose to do, you should not be worried if the big boss is around." Okay but HOW COME managers get their pant*es in a bunch when the... (space cadet) is around?

@Punches Because by and large they’re so busy micromanaging that they don’t actually know what’s going on!
I did have an unfortunate encounter with The Big Guy (in our relatively small chain). I was subbing on switchboard. The phone rang and I answered pleasantly and professionally. The caller just said the CEO’s name. I chirped, “I’ll connect you! One moment please.”
I could hear the phone ringing in the CEO’s nearby office. Then it stopped and the switchboard rang again.
Same scenario. I heard the phone again and then it stopped again. The switchboard lit up and this time the caller said, “I AM (CEO’s name). I want to talk to X.”
Oh….
