So are you saying something about the specific type of his character or just that it's
rrific? Fwiw, I think the facility manager at my job is probably Te-leading or creative and is very huge on these sorts of details. He doesn't care or is incredibly unaware how it comes across at all.
For example, he routinely walks the docks and watches everybody doing their job. Randomly he'll come up and talk to you. There's never any small talk at all. No 'how are you doing', etc. He just asks questions about what you're doing in a sharp, curt, yet emotionally muted, way that carries with it the implication that you're doing said thing wrong, either because you're doing it on purpose or you're simply an idiot. I mean, he's never happy or encouraging about anything. If he bothers to spend time interacting with you he's trying to get you to do them better, hence you feel like a failure.
Once he hopped in my trailer followed by my supervisor (SLE) and the head manager of the day shift (SEE?) and, without a word or any recognition of me, began pushing on my beautiful wall to find places where the packages gave way. I was furious and embarrassed at the same time, since most of the top row moved. He turned to me, as I still clutched the package I was in the process of loading when he decided to be an asshole, and the first words that came out of his mouth were, "Now tell me how you build a wall." I was simply stunned, trying to recall all the 'load methods' we're supposed to follow and regurgitate them. I was halfway stammering through the first one when he interrupted me and asked me what I was supposed to do when the packages were chest high and higher. I gave the obvious 'push them back' answer in a quiet voice and looked down, simmering and demoralized. "When you're loading above your chest, push the packages back," he repeated, then he just walked out of the trailer, leaving me with the day shift manager and my supervisor. I'm sure it was obvious how flustered I was, because the manager tried to change the subject with small talk but figured out quickly that I just wanted to be left alone. On his way out, my supervisor turned and told me I was doing a good job, which took some of the edge off, but I was still soaking in those feelings of anger and failing at something that really wasn't a big deal at all.
It just didn't make any sense to me that you would get on someone's case like that about fitting maybe six or seven more packages into a wall and completely sapping any desire the other person had to do the damn thing at all. Fwiw, I don't think he intends it to be as demeaning as it is, but he just doesn't get how people work. It's frustrating, it's stupid, and you would think he would see that it's counterproductive, because I know for a fact that I didn't work that hard the rest of the day.
Anyway, this video vaguely reminds me of that (my facility manager isn't threatening at all).
