뜻
To watch someone closely
문화적 배경
In Swedish workplaces, 'micromanagement' is generally frowned upon. Using this idiom often implies a critique of a boss who doesn't trust their team. Teachers use this phrase to warn students that they are being watched for cheating or bad behavior, but it's often said with a bit of humor. Journalists frequently use this idiom when reporting on how the government (Staten) monitors big corporations or banks. Coaches use it to describe tactical discipline, especially in defense-heavy sports like ice hockey or football.
Use it for 'Micromanagement'
If you want to complain about a boss who checks every email you send, this is the perfect phrase.
Don't use it for 'Looking'
If you are just looking at a beautiful view, don't use this! It implies a person is being controlled.
