I hate micro management usually because they're more worried about slack time than building value is neither good for employee neither for shareholders
as employee I optimize "work rate" for value output
as shareholder I optimize spending for profit
In real life of software building value output is decoupled from "work rate" for other professions like factory where quantity and quality are metrics easily measured then value output can be coupled with work rate.
If the job is task oriented why bother having employees just pay per task but maintaining and evolving software is not task oriented even some structures consider software engineers as transpilers of (bad written) user stories :)
Because the transpiling part is gone in few years LLM will do it better than any average programmer
