context: Office/group mom is generally seen as a term of endearment for someone who's nurturing, thoughtful, and prepared for a variety of scenarios. What you're referring to is a busy body not a micromanager. You don't know what the definition of micromanagement is. >
  
  Correct, a term of endearment is usually the case. BUT, that's not who I was wanting to talk about. Anyone can be a micromanager. An example behavior of a narcissist >
  
  I micromanager is someone in a position of power at work who scrutinizes every aspect of how you get work done, criticizes unnecessarily, and doesn't trust that thier team is competent to get work done so they involve themselves in the minutae.  It's not the same as a narcissist. >
  
  I’ve definitely experienced both, but right now I have a coworker who jokes about being the mom of the office. For her, that means stocking up on food, covering shifts, and standing up for us to management.
  She’s not like other moms. She’s a cool mom. >
  
  Im now the group mom cause we went on a 5 mile hike on a hot
  Summer day with no food or water and decided were always gonna have food and water. Its crazy what you can survive in your early 20s. >
  
  When I hear people described as the "mom of the group" it's usually because they're loving and well prepared, not micro-managey. For example, one of my friends has been called the mom of the group because she carries around bandaids and some medicine and always offers to help people. >
  
  That's what I always thought too. Snacks and bandaids. >
  
  I am a mom but I am not your mom. Last thing I want to do is take care of adults >
  
  My sister has a good amount of employees and they told her they want her to be “ more like a mom”. She’s like, I’m your boss, not your mom. No male boss is told they should be more like dad. It’s insulting to women to tell them they should be professionals and moms to adults at the same time.
