I've worked with people who would rapidly become comfortable with minute-by-minute instructions... though they might complain about it a lot, for a variety of essentially signaling reasons.
In general, my rule of thumb about giving detailed instructions to people is that it's a bad idea, not because they hate it, but because they become accustomed to it. If I solve the "what should I do next?" problem for someone enough times, they start expecting me to solve it for them in the future as well. I have a hard enough time solving it for myself.
Oldie but goodie. A piece of fiction describing how a computer system can do the job of human managers at fast food restaurants (scarily plausible), how this leads to a dystopia (slowly getting implausible), and how to avoid this scenario and reach utopia (give me a break).
