I am a team player and like to contribute.

When asked to take on a task. I always say yes and I never get a thank you. He never provides all the details to what he wants and then asks why I didn’t do it a certain way. He always asks for feedback and comments and then when provided he ignores the suggestion and picks on an irrelevant statement and never acknowledges your suggestion.

Example: I was sure if SUE should be the one to do the job so I looked into it. I found out that she is allowed or acceptable. So how do you feel about this execution process? A, then B, then C. HIS RESPONSE: “We never said that she couldn't do the job. We said that she is not held responsible”. ...... never even acknowledging my suggestion. In a sum, I replied and said that if he had no comments on my suggestion that he asked for, that I apologized for wasting his time. I never heard back from him. This is an ongoing thing. A person can say cat and he swore you said dog.

    You can call them that you have a new job. That is always the best ;)

  • Hi Brittney, thanks for the interesting question. You might want to edit it though, since the spelling is incorrect. "Ungreatful" should be spelled "ungrateful."

One word is curmudgeon. Here is an example use from Merriam-Webster:

Oh, he had the reputation for being a curmudgeon, and he didn't suffer fools gladly, and often he seemed to have no tolerance for people at all.

  • I agree - curmudgeon was my first thought as well, though curmudgeons can also be oddly lovable. Walter Matthau's character Max in Grumpy Old Men comes to mind.
