Talking Loudly Is Only for the Boss

My boss is the one who regularly interrupts others in meetings and talks over them. He has to be the loudest in the room. You probably know someone like that. Naturally, I had this happen this morning during a call with my boss. He starts talking about how my team didn't do something he requested.

He said I often talk over him. I let him know that he talks over almost everyone…


My boss is the one who regularly interrupts others in meetings and talks over them. He has to be the loudest in the room. You probably know someone like that.

Naturally, I had this happen this morning during a call with my boss.

He starts talking about how my team didn't do something he requested. I responded with details confirming that we did what was asked. He then changed course to another subject he was displeased with regarding our team. I confirmed we were doing what he wanted and offered proof. Before I could finish, he interrupted me and talked over me.

I'm getting frustrated by this point I don't take kindly to mis-characterizing or falsely accusing my team. So the next topic he brings up I quickly correct before he finishes talking. He said I often talk over him. I let him know that he talks over almost everyone in the office.

He said, “I'm your boss.”

I've begun my job search.
