8/26    What is the best way to deal/cope with boss who micro-manages?
        \_ Get them fired or transferred. That's what i've done to two mgrs.
        \_ overwhelm them with endless reports and queries about the tiniest
           most trivial details and generally behave the way they treat you:
           you can't do *anything* without their prior approval.  "Bob, should
           I use /tmp or /var/tmp for my zero byte lock file?  Let's have a
           meeting to discuss the pro's and con's and kick it over to >insert
           other group< to see what they think".
           \_ Good advice, but check to see how loved your boss is by the
              next level up first.  Too much love, and you may find yourself
              fired or transferred first.

        \_ on a related topic, how do i handle annoying neighbors around
           my cubicle?  i.e., eating chips/yawning/talking on the phone/
           loudly?
