I can't say much about it in a public forum, but advice on how to deal with it would be much appreciated. ( I am not micromanaged here so don't even start that nonsense.)
How do you deal with micromanagement?

I don't think she's asking how to be a more adept micromanager 😅. It sounds like she is being micromanaged and is welcoming input as to how to deal with it better.
i ignore it and do my own thing.
I would say to establish some sort of communication directly outlining their micromanaging, even if they find it offensive. That is the only real way to establish a motive for why they do what they do. Only then can you work against that motive. If you cant find a solution to this through communication then there isnt much of a solution. Ignoring this will only lead to resentment.
In the past i have left to advance new opportunties because i cant change other people but i can change myself.

I’m glad this doesn’t happen in my country.
Anyway, if you don't have anything productive to do, centralize everything that is decentralized and decentralize everything that's centralized. It’ll make you look like you've achieved something.
straight to jail with you.
what if you get a message every five seconds and if you don't answer they show up at your desk?
You gotta be honest with people like that and say you can’t get anything done with them hounding you constantly. In a professional manner of course
I said don't start that nonsense.
what if they are someone that retaliates through passive aggressive behavior?
Then you report that to HR. Nobody should be using any sort of intimidation tactics on you
this sounds like a pretty hostile work environment. as much as it pains me i have to agree with finn. (it pains me to agree with finn and also because i hate human resources) but it's time to get somebody involved in this. whether it's hr or a supervisor or somebody. not really knowing the structure of your workplace. nobody should have to put up with this nonsense.
i tend to have zero problems blowing everything up, burning bridges and leaving a disaster behind me, but i know that's not how most normal people handle things. so i'll let more responsible/reasonable people advise you.
It may have to happen this way. I would much rather not though.
I know it seems easier to not make waves. But you can’t let someone walk all over you and create an unhappy work environment for you. If your HR department is professional, you’ll be kept away from things after making a report and they’ll deal with the situation.
But before it comes to that, have you tried having a frank discussion with this individual?
No, I am afraid to do it. I have talked to their boss about it.
Ooooooohhhh.... still applies tbh
And did their boss not do anything about it?
I think they talked to them cause it stopped for like a week.
Go to them again. Tell them it’s still happening and say you don’t want to escalate it further but you may have to if it doesn’t stop

Document everything. Emails, meetings with HR, dealings with this person, etc. My wife went through a sort of similar event a couple years ago. Keeping a log certainly helped her case. Especially if it’s already been brought up to management and the person is ignoring their recommendations.

I always document my dealings with HR in case I get banned from forums. Great piece of advice there.

Documenting is vital.
The less irrefutable evidence involved, the better.
Figure out what the in-person recording laws are, too, for where you live in order to cover those desk visit conversations, if at all possible.

Don’t have to hurt anyone. Being firm is an art though.
no u
you're not wrong... :|
Not able to ignore.
I have.
Sometimes I just look at them and blink until they are done. Say "okay" and they get mad..
Lmao, then girl this sounds like their problem, and not yours.
nonono. I am clearly the problem.
You're the best 😍. And never a problem once ever.
I don't smirk or smile. I just sit there and blink.
