I have a micro manager who asks me for an update every two hours, even on weekends. I'm getting sick of it. will tell me even how to do my work I know how to do. He constantly hits me up on weekends and at nights and has also given me feedback to be available at all times
Why do you even respond to emails over the weekend? Just ignore him and tell him you were traveling if he asks. My company wanted to force us to install a special management software on our phones to be able to access email. And I haven’t checked my emails outside business hours since then
He will constantly keep sending messages/pings if I don't respond
Again, ignore him. Does he send you on the phone? Can’t you tell him you are traveling and don’t have access to a computer?
Talk to HR
Lol have you not seen the Uber HR articles lately? They will cover it up
Uber has been on a PR drive lately and can't afford another mess.
Don’t encourage it. Say you’re on a hiking trip and you had no reception or some other excuse every time he tries to reach you on weekends for simple things. After a bit, he should get a hang of it.
I'd say don't give an excuse. Just don't answer. If manager asks why, don't answer. Excuses are subject to debate.
He’d still have to give one when he gets back to work. A mere “sorry I wasn’t available” without a reason isn’t gonna fly so well.
Switch teams ?
Can you file a complaint with the California Labor dept? They want you to work beyond your normal work hours without the pay.
Call him out on it- if it’s not critical it can be handled Monday. Some people suck at their job, so guide them like sheep. Or better yet, don’t respond. Just don’t.
Block number on weekends
Or "Have you done the needful?"
If I quit without having an offer in hand, will it be hard to explain why I quit? I just started a few months ago. But the role is not what they told me it will be
No you don't even owe an explanation besides "new role is a better fit for me" or "family issues so I need to take a break right now"
