Micromanager
Significado: A boss or supervisor who controls every tiny detail of their employees' work, unable to delegate or trust others.
A micromanager is every American worker's nightmare boss — someone who watches over your shoulder, questions every decision, and needs to approve everything. 'Micromanaging' destroys morale and trust. It's one of the most common workplace complaints in American culture.
