How to calm down when things he heated

anyone has suggestion on how to calm down? my meetings are always all over the place with MICROMANAGERS which is making me angry

tips?

hi @joe micromanagers SUCK. dont have any novel tips except to just ignore them whenever u can. i usually just ignore their messages/calls until im done with the work, then just come back with everything ready.

this might backfire tho, if ur manager isn’t the type that can feel ignored.

hahah thats a nice approach if you’re gonna be pinched might as well get pinched later

That sounds really frustrating, especially when dealing with micromanagers can make everything feel more stressful. It’s understandable that it’s making you feel angry.

One thing that might help is taking a few deep breaths before and during meetings to stay grounded. I’ve also found that setting clear boundaries (even in small ways) and preparing ahead can reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed.

If it helps, try focusing on what’s within your control in the meeting—like how you respond or how you manage your emotions. Would scheduling a quick break after meetings to reset help?

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way!
