He never gives me any problems or he'll sometimes have a slight slight snippy way of talking but he then apologizes to me later on but this time, he effing went crazy.

He told me I didn't do my job right when I have always done it right and he's never complained before. Told me I didn't do it the right way, his way and when I said you are normally fine with how I do it and you thank me so I didn't think I was doing it wrong if I got it done and completed exactly in the time frame it's supposed to be in.

Then he said "no, that's the problem, you didn't get it done!" so I said "look I'm sorry if it wasn't as you wanted" and he said "NO LOOK, you do it MY WAY, I don't give a shit if you're sorry!" and when I went back to check, there was really nothing to do/nothing I had not finished.

So before I left, I said "okay, I checked and I didn't see anything incomplete but I'll definitely make sure to do it the way you wanted next time" and he said "NO YOU MISSED something!!" and when I asked what, he made up a story about how I didn't finish something that I definitely did as I had checked it and saw it there. So I said "well I apologize if I had missed something, I will make sure to triple check next time" (thinking maybe I really did miss it and I'm dreaming) but then when I went to leave and he was walking next to me, I passed what he had said I didn't complete and it was indeed completed 100%. So I expected him to have said something or apologize, realizing he made it up as he told me he had checked and it wasn't done.. but when I said "bye" he just walked away at a fast pace, shaking his head with an attitude.

Honestly, what the hell was this? The day wasn't stressful either as he didn't have to lift a finger. He did say he had a slight headache in the beginning of the day but he then took meds for it, I saw and he knows I have severe severe migraines every single day so I'm thinking wtf.

Honestly, is this normal? I can't seem to understand wtf this was about.

    I had a job managing people for about three years, and it can be extremely stressful. Just remember, managers are people to; they do make mistakes and sometimes react in ways that they shouldn't.

    It can be difficult dealing with people who simply don't like being told what to do. I once had an employee get in my face, put his hands on me, and tell me: "I don't have to listen to you, bitch." :O....as a result, you kinda have to develop a bit of over-confidence in your decision making abilities, which can basically cause you to assume unfairly that other people are fucking up, or ride them when they are. It's an unfortunate side effect of the job, because ideally you want to be understanding, admit when you, the manager, make a mistake and trust the people that work under you. However, sometimes admitting you fucked up leads your employees to not take you seriously...you're always walking a fine line with that, and it sucks, to be honest.

    If this isn't a common occurance, you might want to just let it slide. Managers do make mistakes, and whist it's wrong that he treated you like shit, it probably wasn't done on purpose.
