nanoaggression

Nanoaggression is a term used for commonplace verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities that are too subtle to qualify as a microaggression. Ranging from unintentional to nonexistent, these slightest of all slights subconsciously affect and are perpetrated by all peoples in all places. Differing from microaggressions, nanoaggressions are always delivered unconsciously and might possibly shine a spotlight on implicit biases. Nanoaggressions can only be detected by a highly sensitive third party observer due the nature of their imperceptibility.

Examples of nanoaggressions might include, but are not limited to, the following; smiling, not smiling, eye-contact, lack of eye-contact, listening, ignoring, greeting, overt shyness, contrived shyness, jogging, swimming with proper form, whistling a tune, hot sauce, a contrived preference for spicy food, Japanese curry, soups and stews, the wearing of pants, argyle, scarves, tennis shoes, tennis in general, coffee mugs, coffee in general, domestic travel, international travel, excessive reading, singing, waving, use of chairs, artwork in general, a preference for refined sugar, the drinking of light beers, the consumption of dairy products, the use of canvas.
I was at the supermarket the other day and this older woman let me cut in front of her because I only had a few items and her cart was full.

What sort of products were in her cart?

I don’t remember. Maybe food.

That sounds an awful lot like a nanoaggression.

I think you might be right maybe.

nanomanagement

Nanomanagement is an extremely poor type of management where the manger not only overmanages their employees' work, but all of the employees' other tasks on a daily basis. This includes but is not limited to delegaing meaningless tasks like copy and pasting information, asking employees to send an email for them, etc.

Instead of giving employees general instructions, room to use their imagination and empowering them, a nanomanager not only assesses every step, but also assigns and manages each little task for each step.

This type of management may be motivated by but not limited to the manager's concern for details, the manager not having any work of their own to do, feeling insecure about their position as manager and having the need to demonstrate their power to their employees.

The effect of nanomanagement will be de-motivated employees, lowered morale, increased resentment and low retention
This nanomanagement is out of control I need to create a project plan just to wipe my ass and make sure my manager is there while I do it!
