My colleagues often accuse me of being unavailable whenever they need to reach me as well as constantly micromanaging those that work under me despite my track record of early successes, AITA?

So today I found out that my colleagues and superiors are constantly upset with me because they say they are often unable to get a hold of me during key operational periods due to the fact I am often busy up front seeing that my work is being completed to my satisfaction rather than lounging around in the rear.

Others that work with me often complain that I am micromanaging those working underneath me to the point that I am undermining our organization's success. I think my track record speaks for itself (I mean, I helped achieve in six weeks what others failed to accomplish in four years) and our boss seems to appreciate my efforts. So AITA?

YTA. Sounds like you're the kind of guy who did well in his middle management job but couldn't find his bum with both hands now that he's been promoted up the ladder. Ignoring the top brass, messing around with your underlying's... I bet you steal all the credit for stuff to.

You're a magnificent bastard, but you aren't all you're cracked up to be! I kicked your ass, remember!

Don't get so damn full of yourself. **YTA**

YTA. I've never met you, and I already dislike you just from this one post.

INFO- How are you handling your operation's logistical situations? Ensuring that organizational resources aren't wasted always goes a long way towards showing that you truly care about the wellbeing of the organization and its people, and I'm wondering if you could improve on that area.
