The stuff in op is The kind of management you see when an office has a history of not being productive. The first thing good management would have tried is results-based metrics. " I don't care how or when you get your work done, so long as you get it done, it gets done right, and it gets done legally". This works for good teams and motivated workers, but hardly works for soul sucking jobs. When results based metrics don't work, they resort to this kind of stuff because otherwise nothing gets done.
I must be off because I've had plenty of jobs and actually liked all but one of them. Made friends. Sometimes hooked up with female coworkers. Learned cool stuff. Had some cool experiences. Definitely got some cool stories to tell. Maybe people are just have bad attitudes. Either that or I'm just extraordinarily lucky.

You've had the pleasure of working with good teams. Heck, you are probably one of the reasons all your teams were good.
