Micromanagement isn't a leadership style here — it's a religion. There is zero trust in the people they hire, which raises the obvious question: why hire them at all? Every decision gets second-guessed, every task gets hovered over, and any attempt to do your job with basic autonomy is treated like insubordination. It doesn't just kill productivity — it kills confidence, motivation, and eventually any willingness to give more than the bare minimum. But the retaliation is what puts PetAg in a category beyond just bad management — it's genuinely toxic. Speak up, ask a reasonable question, push back on something unfair — and watch what happens. Nothing is ever said outright because the people running things aren't brave enough for direct confrontation. It's death by a thousand small cuts, executed by people who've mistaken pettiness for power.
