I’ve been in this job now for more than six months. I took a more junior role than I had been used to, on purpose to avoid stress. (I had been in management). I know I do my job very well, I am more qualified than my boss & he has already told me he admires the exams I took and passed. We have very different opinions on the economic crisis, but I know I have more experience than him & I read lots. In meetings, I give my views & he often contradicts me. In the past few weeks, I notice he does not ask friendly questions anymore. I don’t know why he is being like this to me. Does anyone have any advice?


Dont worry about it. Just read bible. God will help you.

Screw him, you don’t need his approval. He’s probably just jealous that you’re more qualified than him.
Don’t respect people that don’t respect you. In other words the next time he’s rude to you be rude back or talk to him in the same manner he is talking to you i.e. icy. Hope this helps. Good look!
he thinks you are trying to be more than what your position warrants.
Its not his fault you lack the stomach for the big chair but once you give it up then you also give up the respect for your opinions that goes with it.
I’m not qualified enough to answer this.

I would advise you to just be professional at all times, sometimes other people aren’t.
Don’t take the change in his behaviour personally.
Maybe he wants to fcuk you
Hello,
I’d suggest you take more of a back seat to him, especially in the meetings and let him feel he is the best and brightest. It could well be that you are more clever and on the ball than him but nevertheless, if he considers you a future threat to his position, he will find a way of removing you.
I cannot help but hear the melody of the executioner’s song off in the distance, judging by the way he is acting. So again back off, keep a lower profile or you best start looking for a new job in your spare time.
Cheers,

Seems to me first of all you are a straight shouter with upper management written all over you, you might have his job someday.
As he is for now your boss and it seems you had and/or desire a friendly relationship with him even though he is being this way, it might be a good idea to grin and bear it, either confront him and tell him how you feel. People can surprise you. But do it in a “I fell like” way but try not to act subservient or weak. Or just every now and then ask friendly questions to him. Ask about his family too and such. You attract more flies with honey. This might get him to open and be friendly and try to understand your opinions (at least subconsciously) like he might have used to or more and get over what seems to be an inferiority complex he has towards you and a need to feel his job is secured or he is better than you. Make him feel he doesn’t have to compete with you, even if it sucks alittle, it will accomplish what you it.
The key to this is ‘In meetings I give my views’ he feels inferior in company and you may think you are indeed more qualified than him, (which you say you are) This he knows but probably feels you are trying to upsurp him in front of others, why not try in meetings to cool it a bit, and give ‘him’ some praise in front of others, just say something like ‘ I think that is a good point’ just enough without going over the top. You will find he will have a different attitude to you, if you make him feel important in front of others, instead of undermiming him. You may not think it a big deal to yourself at the moment in meetings, but I bet he feels very angry with you in private. Everyone likes to feel important and you are taking his pride away at the present time, hence his attitude to you.
