I have two bosses.

One is compassionate and a hard worker. I strive to have his work ethic - it’s commendable!

The other one - not so much. He’s lazy and petty. He belittles and is all around unpleasant (although he has a nice moment from time to time).

I feel badly but I’m at my wit’s end and I don’t think the benefit of working with one is outweighing the frustration that comes with working with the other. He’s going to retire one day... but who knows when? Talks of replacing him are on hold bc of COVID-19.

Every job is going to have someone I don’t necessarily get along with, right?

For example - he is giving me the silent treatment right now. Today, when I was talking to him about work he 1. Cut me off and walked away and 2. When I was answering a question he asked another employee who wouldn’t know the answer, he literally refused to look at me. He stared at my coworker the entire time, directed all follow up questions to her which I had to answer to the back of his head, and then thanked her at the end. He hasn’t told me why he’s upset, though.

That is a level of immaturity that might be best to speak with HR about. Assuming you work for a company with it's own hr department.

You should try and be direct him first, but if this does not solve the problem, i think this is the kind of thing that you can tell an hr person, who then probably tells your boss' boss, and hopefully that leads to a behavior change.

He has an issue with you. That is for certain. It could be any number of things from your ***sex to your ethnicity. Changing his mind may never happen because they are narrow minded. Therefore I would not be confrontational about it. Pray for him. Let the other supervisor know what you are experiencing and let him know that you don't want to discuss the issue. Keep doing the excellent job you are doing for both. Your job performance should not be influenced one way or the other.
