Several years ago, I was at my desk when the owner of the business came to my coworker and asked to see her upstairs in the lunch room. The employee shot me a quizzical look as she passed by my desk following our boss. When she came back down stairs, she quietly sat down at her desk and began working. After the boss left the office the coworker shredded with me the cause of her reprimand.
The staple on her report was crooked.
That was one of the most outrageous cases of micro managing I had seen. Peter writes that we are to obey even those who are unreasonable (1 Peter 2:18-20). If I am paid a salary to make sure staples are straight, then I will make them straight (and possibly look for another job).
