Here's why a majority of employees say being a micromanager is the worst trait a boss can have. via CNBCMakeIt
Establishing work-life balance may be all the rage among employers right now, but it wasn't a priority for Bill Gates during Microsoft's early years.
However, that didn't stop him from tracking which employees were working the longest hours."I knew everybody's license plates so I could look out in the parking lot and see when did people come in [and] when were they leaving," Gates told the BBC. "Working for a micromanager can be a suffocating experience," says career expert Amanda Augustine of TopResume.
Allen shared an anecdote of a former Microsoft employee, named Bob Greenberg, who worked 81 hours in four days to finish a project. Toward the end of the work week, Gates asked Greenberg what he'd be working on the next day.
