To chastise me about my tone

It was really uncomfortable, that's never happened to me before

We got a grant to work on a policy issue that is my domain here at work as a policy analyst, and started doing interviews last week with potential contractors to outsource certain functions. But I didn't even know we got the grant much less that we'd moved into to the interview stage. So I told him I'd like to be kept in the loop in the future. He said it was because last week was crazy but I was like, I get it but you've texted me and emailed me with requests several times just this morning, but I get it. Then we moved on.

Sounds like something that would have been better handled offline rather than a company-wide meeting. Sorta siding with your boss here.

When he called me afterwards he said I couldnt speak to him like that in front of other staff and that I wasn't the only one dealing with a lot of shit and he deserved for me to cut him some slack "considering all of the slack I've cut you" (this pissed me off)

It does sound like he massively jumped the gun although maybe youre about to become several people and its not your exclusive contract.

But that probably wouldnt be something Id reveal in a company wide meeting.

Last part is petty af on his part...but he isn't exactly wrong that you shouldn't be speaking to him like that in front of everyone. I'd just apologize, chalk it up to stress, and move on.

A boss who can give it and not take it is a shitty boss

Eh, someone has to talk to him about his awful management at some point, and our board isn't really active. Part of his strategy is to make every management issue seem personal to the individual employee. I do agree with you in the abstract, but this kind of thing is why we have such high turnover (someone quit just today). It's not an isolated incident.

That said, yeah I was reacting more with my feelings than my head too so I have little standing here. Just sharing with ce

Learning experience for you both. Its generally not good to say shit like that in a public meeting. If anything dont do it cause people react really weirdly to being called out, even more so if they deserve it.

But counter point is he shouldnt have given you the slack comment. Sounds like he thinks quite highly of himself and what he does.

I think he reacted the way he did because someone quit today and the turnover is something our board is starting to regard with some oversight because it's become a real budget issue for our organization.

Oh, for sure...I'm just saying a public meeting isn't the place to do something like that. Even if you have a point to make and are 100% in the right, doing it like this will rarely make you look good in the end.

Italicizing the part you could've not done, but this is easy for me in my armchair.

I feel like that's a ****ty thing to say regardless of whether it's true or not. Makes it feel like he's holding it for some future occasion.

It's definitely a shitty thing because either it's not true and the boss is lashing out or it is true and the boss is admitting that he's a bad boss and saying that TC should let him get away with it because he lets TC be a bad employee.
