boss: “I’d like you to feel empowered and be more proactive, really driving the projects.” me: “ok, wow. this shift sounds great! I’ve been wanting an opportunity like this.” boss: “now let me tell you exactly what i want you to do, here are 32 things you didn’t do correctly last time, stop asking clarification questions, i need the following minutia in detailed reports, and all PTO now need special permission during Q4. And no more working from home.” me: <updates resume and linkedIn profile> am I wrong?
Nope. God speed bro! 👊
God that sucks!
Sounds like your manager got feedback from their manager that they micromanage too much. Which your manager then processed into micromanaging differently but not less.
I'm guessing there's this follow up? Manager: Pikachu face
I lost it at “Stop asking clarification questions” How can I improve, if we do not clarify things.
(It’s because the Boss has no f*cking clue how to answer any questions)
Ugh, I don't know why any manager would want to operate that way. I'd much rather say what we want to accomplish, how it fits with overall org and/or company strategy and let you go do it. I'll keep an eye out for roadblocks and otherwise support you. If you need to work only from 1am to 5am and can get the work done, go for it!
Desi manager??
Nope. Not worth it. Smart and proactive

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
