Having some challenges scheduling interviews because of Honeywell micromanagement getting in the way
I work HON for the past two years and the micromanagement has become from stressful to unbearably affecting the quality of life and health. I won't get into details about the situation but my boss is constantly calling me and at my desk asking for things every two minutes. Is it acceptable to tell new employers to be flexible with timing interviews because of dealing with micro managers? How would you handle this if you are on constant lockdown and hard to get away to eve find a new job?
Sounds exactly like my old job.....did not help my job search
Yeah, you need to pretend to be sick. Also, start saying no to impromptu meetings and etc. He or she does it with you, because you take it
WFH on those days. Or say it’s doctors appointments or something like that and block off the time and tell him “Sorry, I can’t miss my appointment.” Even if he says something just say sorry and stick to your guns. He can’t do anything and I’d be shocked if he did.
Thanks all, great advice.
Do you block off your calendar? Invent something like sick kid or your own health issue and let your mngr know you'll be taking appts but will call them back as soon as possible.
Which location is this? And which product team?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have been doing this as well. A few times I scheduled interviews at lunch or after work and the micromanager sabotaged my phone interview by making me have impromptu meetings or giving me work a few times past 5pm on a Friday. I know nobody can make you do anything but this situation is very bad.
