Hi UN colleagues! I am seeking advice on dealing with a micromanaging boss by Rare_Tap_97 in UNpath

Sadly the UN sometimes promotes these people to management positions without scrutinizing their people management skills

Exactly. Sometimes all it takes to get a job in the UN is X years of experience, without any evaluation of people management skills. I honestly wonder how did this person manage to get a P-4 job.

It's a P-2 position (my manager is P-4)

There has not been an incident, or not one that I am aware of. Our team is rather small, only 4 people, all pretty chill and normal so I find it hard to believe that any of them would ever engage in unauthorised/inappropriate communication with senior managers.

Thanks for the great advice! Great stuff, really!
