I work for a start up, very small administrative staff including myself. My supervisor was out for the day and the owner messaged me asking for help on an intake document. Now there is some back story about this document. A couple days prior, I was asked to research what makes for the best version of this document. Note I was not asked to make the document, just do research surrounding what goes in the document. I thought to myself that it was the same thing as making the document and it's not really hard to draft, so instead I just went ahead and drafted one in a word doc. I got feedback from my supervisor that the actual draft wasn't needed but it was already time to clock out. I quickly amended what I made into what my supervisor and boss wanted and pressed send.
Fast forward a couple of days and my boss asks for assistance on the same document I drafted. He said he wanted to get it up and running by Monday. I see the work he has completed and he was basically starting from scratch. I didn't quite understand why he was starting from scratch and I was annoyed to work on this since he could just amend what I created. He's one of those people who have trouble relinquishing control over things. Throughout the day, he began blowing up my Slack trying to get this done exactly the way he wanted, even small things. I literally had over 20+ messages of him obsessing over amendments. He would text something, then change his mind, then text again. I know we are WFH but it literally doesn't warrant spamming my Slack every two seconds. I was also confused because we were working on it together and yet he asked me to make small changes that he could do himself. Plus I hadn't even started on my other work that my supervisor left me. Then he asked me if I could change something and I did it wrong. To be honest, I was distracted in the moment and all the Slack messages/amendments started blending together because of his disorganization. I immediately get a phone call and in a demeaning tone he says, "Why did you do it this way? I asked you to do it my way. The instructions were to list the variables like this. I don't know why you did it this way. Delete everything and I will just start again." In a panic, I was able to quickly reverse my mistake and do what he asked. He called me again to make more amendments and I politely told him that I fixed everything. Another thing that bothered me was that I made a suggestion to make the document less cluttered. He denied my suggestion and insisted we go with his way. A few minutes later, I get a message that he would go with my suggestion instead.
I am debating on whether I should bring this up to him. I know he's under a great amount of stress, but he was being rude. I also chalked it up to cultural differences but I mean being nice and respectable isn't up for debate. I want to create boundaries in how people treat me but I don't know how to because this is my first adult job out of college. This was my first real interaction of working with him as I am my supervisor's assistant. I don't work well when I am demeaned and I don't like being treated this way. Considering I'm the youngest in the company and the only person of color in admin of the company, I felt so alone and small. What are the possible repercussions to speaking up? Should I tell my supervisor instead?
