I plan to address my boss's micromanagement of me today. I've had it. I've read online how to diplomatically and professionally address this issue with a boss. I wrote out what I plan on saying.

She typically does not get online and work until after 9 AM. I typically am online working between 7:30-8:30. Well, at 8 am this morning she was writing me a message on our instant messenger platform asking me details about an email I had just sent to the team. This question was unnecessary, had she read the whole of my email, number 1, and number 2, her question could have waited until she was actually officially working at 9 am. But no, she had to come bug me at 8 am instead. This is just one example of her micromanagement of me.

She also nitpicks my written communications to colleagues. I am 54 years old with over 30 years of business experience. I think I know how to write professional emails at this stage in my career. I put a stop to that not too long ago, addressing it directly with her, telling her that that level of oversight does not allow me to simply be myself and include in emails what I think is important and valuable information to share.

I am really getting sick of her and hope I get promoted soon so I don't have to continue working with her. She annoys me.
