So, if a developer takes too long developing the pre-defined micro-task which you've assigned them, you have to followup with them and report on why a micro-task took too long?

If this isn't micromanagement, what would you define as micromanagement?

Exactly, I see Devs in our company having small meeting all the time to discuss the most ridiculous things that you could imagine... if Eng ever get micromanaged like this, I'm out in a month.
A month is too long to wait. Break it down into smaller units... ;-)

I think some managers just don’t have enough to do so they make work for themselves (and everyone else). Like a border collie with no sheep to herd, they will start herding ducks, children, etc.
