the Company i work at micromanages to death, actively spies on me, Manager sits literally next to me
I am getting really fed up at the current company I decided to work for exclusively...
First, we have to make tasklists everyday, the CEO grills us constantly for what we are doing.
I have spreadsheets explaining spreadsheets explaining spreadsheets. Basic SEO stuff here.
Micromanagement could not be more severe.
When I first started I made it clear I need my own office, that lasted about a week before the CEO not being able to micromanage me and spy on me moved me to the main room, literally 1 foot away from the Office manager. I am sitting there reading a news site or something, and he messages me on skype "Enjoying that article about radioactive minerals?", it is utterly humiliating that after all these years, working with many clients, I find myself in a position EXACTLY like 1984.
Maybe I'm just extremely spoiled?
My productivity has plummeted as I feel resistant to working under such conditions. I'm not sure what to do about this.
I'm sitting here right now and I'm sure he is looking at me.
Also they always want me to spell out EXACTLY everything i'm doing, everything the outsourced workers are doing, it seems to me that they wanna 'figure out' SEO, in documents so they can just fire me anytime and hire someone with no experience or knowledge and tell them to "just do whatever he was doing".
I need to hear something from others. Have you been in such a situation??
Daily tasklists, must report everythign al lthe time, the CEO doesn't want to pay more then $3/hr for an outsourced worker, but expects the world. Takes important SEO related work from me and gives it to his favourite worker (Web Dev team leader), and on page SEO has been decidedly "not important".
I cannot do my job. I tell the CEO what I want to do, and he decides arbitrarily if its important to do.
My SEO team is complaining to me nonstop that this company is making foolish decisions and we literally cannot move left or right 1 nanometer without getting permission from the CEO and at least 2 other 'senior' people in a company of 9 people....
WTF?
