That's what I was trying to get at. Few would fault me if I claimed that my former employer practiced "incessant micromanagement", as long as I had a few sane examples to back up my claim. However, the phrase "repeated attempts to police the employees like a bunch of kindergartners" seems a lot more emotionally loaded, perhaps even indicating some unresolved psychological flashbacks that I wouldn't want to take on as a new employer.
Yeah, I see your point. I think I was more responding to a separate, but related topic, which wasn't really part of the thread, just something that's been on my mind lately as I've been interviewing.
I think Terrence's phrase could be altered just a little to something like "my employer makes me feel like I'm a kindergartner" or "I feel like my employer thinks I'm a kindergartner" and it would be more palatable.
