My old boss was a bit of a control freak. He would micromanage every little task. For example, he would tell an employee exactly how to arrange their desk. He once made a guy move his stapler three times because it wasn't in the 'right' place according to him. It was so ridiculous that we couldn't help but laugh about it behind his back.
