Bad boss, bad work

You probably suspected this but the experts agree: Overcontrolling Bosses Aren't Just Annoying; They're Also Inefficient.

As the Wall Street Journal's Jared Sandberg explains:

Deeply untrusting and puffed up with some devil-in-the-details justification, control freaks wrest tasks from colleagues, along with the colleagues' sense of self worth. It's as if they were burned by someone or something long ago, and everyone they come into contact with is a walking evocation of the past demon. The irony is that in the name of efficiency and cost savings, these managers are often the most guilty of operating far below their pay scales.
