We promoted someone to team lead six months ago and they've become completely different - micromanaging everything and second-guessing decisions we used to make autonomously. The rest of the team keeps complaining to me about it but when we're all together everyone just goes along with it and I don't know if I should speak up or if that undermines them.
More people experience this than they realize.
