The level of micromanagement for time wasting items is on an uprecedented level I've never experienced, witnessed, or heard of except in case studies of how not to run a business or manage employees. Sometimes upper management asks the most unreasonable things and excepts them done anyway. Upper management treats the entire employee base the same. Nobody is reviewed individually when being asked to do such massive time wasting tasks. High performers are grouped with the rest of the company and everyone is expected to do the same thing even though everyone should be managed differently on an individual level. The laziest form of management is to uniformly ask an entire business sector to perform menial, time wasting busy work, even when high performers have never done this in the past. They aren't even interested in the opinion of high performers whatsoever. Proper managers don't ask the same thing of everyone, as they know that each individual has their own processes and ways of going about their job. Management talks a big talk but asks everyone to do the exact same thing because they don't want to take the time (they ask us to put into some of these ridiculous admin tasks) to see what works best for each invidivual...especially the more tenured employees.
