Problem: Article: To get started, you'll need to start installing the fence posts, which will form the corners of the fence. Dig a hole that is twice the diameter of the post and one-third of the height of the post, using a posthole digger. Make the bottom of the hole slightly larger than the top to make sure you'll be able to seat it properly and securely. It's a good idea to place the dirt you remove on a tarp, so you'll be able to keep it in an even pile for putting it back in and securing the post. Remove any large rocks and roots from the hole. If necessary, cut large roots free. If you're going to be digging a lot of holes or setting a lot of posts, consider renting a gas-powered hole digger. This machine requires a strong helper and close attention to safety precautions to avoid injury. Add 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of gravel to the hole, spreading it evenly across the bottom. This allows proper drainage away from the fence posts during inclement weather, extending the life of the fence itself. Pea-sized landscaping gravel, often just called "pea gravel" is usually the most affordable and effective type of gravel for the job. Set a corner or end post into the hole, and add 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of soil. Check the level of the fence post by placing a carpenter's level on at least 2 sides. When the fence post is level, tamp the soil to compact it solidly into the hole. Add another 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of soil, check the level and tamp the soil. Repeat until you have filled the hole completely. Instead of filling the holes back up with soil, you can mix up a small batch of concrete and use that to fill in above the gravel. For an even easier time, there's a variety of concrete specifically for fence posts, which can be added dry to the hole and soaked with a hose to allow it to set up quickly and easily. Brace the post plumb before filling by using 1" x 4" boards (4' to 6' long), staking, and screws or duplex nails. Mound dirt around the fence post at ground level, rounding it with a trowel, if you filled in around the post with soil. This will direct rain and snow melt away from the fence post, as well as help to secure the post in the ground. If you do use concrete, you still want to have a gentle slope away from the post. Fill it halfway with concrete and ensure that the post is still level when you install. Let the concrete cure properly, then fill the rest of the hole with dirt. Set the corner and end posts first, using your twine as a height reference. Continue on, repeating the steps above until you've installed all the fence posts. Before seating each one, double-check the precise distance between posts with a tape measure.
Summary: Dig a hole for the first post at the corner of the fence. Install some gravel. Seat the first fence post. Build a mound at the bottom of the fence post. Repeat with the rest of the posts.

Problem: Article: It's important for you to figure out whether this is general problem, or one that only you're having with your boss. If it's happening to everyone, it's likely your boss' management style. If it's just you, your boss' micromanagement might be happening because they have a problem with your work. If you've recently screwed up (even if it was a mistake that seemed small to you), your boss could simply be watching to make sure it doesn't happen again. Small and big errors can sometimes cause huge problems for companies. Be patient while you wait to regain your boss' trust with high-quality work. Even if you're getting your work done on time, maybe you're not getting to the office right when it opens. If so, your boss could feel like you're distracted or don't care about your job. Refocus your attention on work and see if this shifts your boss' attitude toward you. If you're supposed to work a set number of hours and you're meeting those hours, don't go overboard trying to impress your boss. If they want to pay you overtime, that's one thing. If not, it's time to have that conversation about backing off a bit. Observe what you wear to work versus what your boss wears. Check out each of your offices. If one of you is super neat and the other tends to be messy, your boss could be judging your appearance and/or work style. You can either accept this or have a conversation about it. If you're new to this job, you may want to wait a bit while they get used to you. Once they see how brilliant you are, they might back off naturally. Your manager may have specific feedback for you that could explain why they've been observing your work so closely. If you don't ask for that feedback, you may not get it. Performance reviews are often automatically scheduled once or twice per year. Instead of waiting for that meeting, ask for one in the next week or so. If you've just started this job, expect a little extra hand-holding. You may feel like you don't need it, and this time could be frustrating for you. Still, it'll take a while for people to know they can trust you. Be patient. Wait at least three months at a new job before you begin investigating alternate sources of the micromanagement.
Summary:
See if anyone else is being micromanaged. Ask yourself if you've made mistakes recently. Ensure that you're giving your job your full attention. Check if you and your manager have different work styles. Ask for a performance review to pinpoint the problem. Wait a few months if you're new.
