My manager makes me feel stupid. Not in the way that it actually

Get a new job.

You should discuss the issue with either another manager, or address it with the berating fella.

I am a manager, and I do my best to try to train people and help them, but there are those kinds of people who are managers and are complete dicks.
You'll have to talk to him or her about the issue. Unless he is specifically paying you, he can't really fire you.

There's not really a way to win with these kind of people. You can do your best to cope, but ultimately you're better off finding a new job or a new position within the company that isn't under him.


How you cope with it depends significantly on where you live, since that determines the standard for employment laws and your employment contract. Someone who lives in the US in a "fire at will" state will have a much harder time than someone who lives in a country with strong employee protections, who can respectfully but confidently call out their boss for doing this and potentially threaten them with some sort of harassment claim or workplace grievance.

just say to his fucking face next time he overreacts, "is it really that shocking that i want you to explain it better?" you can do variations on this a hundred times and he will never, ever have a comeback for it. eventually he'll stop because he doesn't want to feel like the asshole that he is.

I had a job like this. It was a job that required knowledge of all sorts of protocols and how to handle dozens of different situations. I guess you could say I was unqualified but they quite literally threw me to the wolves after two weeks of training. I felt my manager pushing me out every day and it was a terrible feeling. Eventually I was let go. You should try and stick it out unless you have something lined up, if only to get unemployment insurance (don't know if you're American though).

>Other times he'll just do something completely wrong (And I /know/ it's completely wrong because I've read the training manual and department references and procedures guide cover to cover), yet imply I'm wrong ("Uh, are you SURE that's how you do that?", "Go take a look at the _____ again", etc., all with the "are you fucking kidding me" voice+eyes)
why didn't you just take the manual and read him the correct answer, preferably with other people present?

That's a tactic they use to get rid of people they don't like. It lets them blow off steam while making sure they can't be held accountable in case you decide to get HR involved.

Either find another job or you can take a gamble, beat him at his own game and start matching him in a game of wits. Like start telling him off whenever he questions your ability.

Be Israeli and call him out on his bullshit... People like to think that we are a bunch of rude assholes, and for a part they're not entirely wrong, but really we are just direct.

Be the same and things may change for you... And if you get fired, at least you can say you stood up for yourself.

Do you think it's worse to confront your boss and maybe accomplish something, or to never confront your boss and constantly aggravate each other? Just politely and subserviently explain the issue to him, stating that your goal is to do your job and aggravate him less, but that you need something from him. There's a chance he just can't teach things, but there might even be a solution around that.

And if your boss is trying to aggravate you on purpose, kindly asking for a solution to the problem might disarm him.
