I’ve been in software development for 15 years and never had a manager that wasn’t at least a little bit of a micromanager. The reality is that it rarely takes 8 hours or more to do the things that need to be done in a day but the expectation most often is still that if my AuDHD ass isn’t in my often windowless office for 9 hours a day then I must not be working.

Why is it a bad thing that employees can't pretend to do something they're not?
If you're doing a good job, managers don't care if you spend the afternoon at a café.

Except your managers might think it’s important, or you’re a shitty manager trying to fill their time and look important by micromanaging your employees.

good managers don’t care.
