I was happy to read your comment about our managers being nice and helpful — that’s an important quality. If you’re feeling micromanaged, I encourage you to have a conversation with your manager about it. For example they might just be checking to be sure we are meeting our customer and/or compliance obligations. You are also encouraged to reach out to your aligned HR Business Partner with any concerns.
