ive basically been left alone to do work for the past 4 years. this year my manager and team changed. im the only one who has a case load so all my managers focus is on me. ive gone from full autonomy to having oversight on pretty much everything and its draining me of enthusiasm and giving me anxiety.
i now pretty much doubt every decision im making
how do i politely tell her to back off and give me some space to do what i do
its also client renewal season so theres a microscope on everything
and we have to go into the office 2 days a week now - its a shit show.

- If you are use to doing this work without issue for the last 4 years perhaps say to them that you appreciate the thought but that you work more efficiently withNutter
- less oversight. That you will reach out to them if you are unsure of any decisions. At least for a trial period so they can see that you actually can do this.Nutter
- Be sincere, or you're going to be burnt in a month, if you ask them politely, they will surely understand, good luck!OBBTKN

- Suggest a ways of working meeting. It's quite common when someone new joins, even a manager. Discuss how you work best and what she needs to feel comfortableskinny_puppy
- Plan a roadmap to full autonomy together. Perhaps suggest stand ups or that you'll send her regular reports to give her visibility.skinny_puppy
