You just have to love a Micro Managing boss. I read some where that it is a personality disorder. It may also have to do with insecurity. It was stated that these people don't change because a certain part of the brain can not comprehend and they feel that they have to be on gard at all times. They are also untrusting of most people. I asked my boss once if she trusted the team and she said she trusted no one. Pretty interesting. Micro managing bosses can make life at work miserable if you allow them to.
