What Bosses do to annoy Their Staff?

What are the things that bosses do that dri­ves the staff mad?  There will be com­plains about bosses being too metic­u­lous at work which cause unnec­es­sary over­head on the staff.  Staffs are made to work late or be always on their toe in order not to be penalised.  The prob­lem of over-supervision will cre­ate unnec­es­sary over­head to you and your staff and no pro­duc­tive out­put is cre­ated in the process.  Find out more today if you are doing things that are annoy­ing your staff!

• Check your gram­mar mis­takes (not your report con­tent) – one of the most annoy­ing things that a boss can do is become an Eng­lish teacher.  They like to do checks on gram­mat­i­cal mis­takes and enjoy pluck­ing each prob­lem­atic gram­mar made.  Come on, be more pro­duc­tive and work on the con­tent!  If they like to check on gram­mat­i­cal mis­takes, its best for them to have a career in teach­ing then what he is doing now!
• Check your lan­guage struc­ture of your reports – This is accept­able at least then being an Eng­lish teacher.  The impor­tant thing is that its objec­tive that some­one coun­terchecks the work before it gets sends out to senior man­age­ment or the public.
• Enforc­ing work­ing cul­ture, styles and ide­ol­ogy to their staff – The boss always empha­siz­ing that their work style is the best effec­tive method in the world.  Come one, there is no best effec­tive method!  There is only the best effec­tive method that works for the indi­vid­ual.  The boss work­ing style may work for him (at his level) but may not be applic­a­ble to the others!
• Enforc­ing time­li­ness of atten­dance at work – That is, you must reach office by 9 am in the morn­ing.  Not later than that or else you are screwed.  You can only leave office only after 6:30pm.  Not ear­lier than that or again you will be screwed.  There will be no room for excuse if you are late and there will be no room for dis­cus­sion for leav­ing early.  This cre­ates unnec­es­sary stress to his staff for rush­ing to work and hav­ing to arrange and abide to the work tim­ings in the office.
• Being the police offi­cer and check­ing on every­one – The boss assumes the role of a police offi­cer.  He patrols your cubi­cle and watches your every activ­ity.  He goes to every cor­ner of the office to locate where you are if you are not present at your desk.  You get penalised for tak­ing too much time at the pantry seep­ing cof­fee or hav­ing a casual dis­cus­sion with the girl from the account­ing depart­ment.  Of course, not men­tion­ing if you hap­pened to be check­ing your per­sonal mail from Hot­mail too!  Nobody wants to be watch over like an inmate, relax a bit and give your staff some room to breath!

If you are such a boss or supe­rior, you’ve got to chill out a bit!  Micro­manag­ing your staff in this way will only hurt you in the long run!  You are not ensur­ing pro­duc­tiv­ity being cre­ated.  Through these processes that you put in place, you enclose your staff to work in a restricted envi­ron­ment (like pigs in pig farms).  You cre­ated more over­head for your­self by always per­form­ing these micro­manag­ing tasks.  You’ve also cre­ated over­head for your staff for always hav­ing the need to abide to your micro­manag­ing work style.  In the long run, they get tired of it; morale low­ered and may even­tu­ally leave you.  Is this what you want to achieve?
