I was going to comment without reading TFA. I'm happy I read it because it says the same I was going to write :)

Just one nuance from experience: sometimes the micromanager tries hard not to seem like one, even to himself. I had a very humble, very caring micromanager that praised my technical competence and beat the bush for a long time but eventually second guessed everything I did.

I have my real name in my profile here so I'm not going to comment on the last straw.
