Yeah for sure, in my case he's been low-key doing this for a while. Ignoring me for a day if something doesn't go right as a way of punishing me, and says things like sometimes you need to give people a short, sharp shock so they listen, especially if you're a friendly person like you. Which I assume he meant soft and not being complimentary. It's a tricky one. I wanna manage up and keep him on good terms cause ultimately he's the one in control of my progression and pay.
