Stopped listening to micromanagers or incompetent managers. This resulted in better quality and quantity of delivery.

Let it be known that a truly good manager accepts when they were wrong and promotes despite differences, whereas a micromanager is insecure about something in their own job resulting in pushing their bad decisions down.

Sure, it will cause friction and will affect your career but your career is busted anyway because a micromanager will never acknowledge that they were wrong. Following their prescribed path only reinforces their large egos.

At least you can sleep well at night knowing that you did your job with integrity.
