No one can agree on the way this person should've talked to their boss.
In any job, communication is key, but it's a skill that one develops over time. You don't enter the workplace at 20 years old already knowing the decorum of an office setting. People might give you weird looks if you speak up loudly during meetings or say something off-putting, and that's just how you learn those things over time.
This person isn't sure if they talked to their boss appropriately or not, so they asked the internet. But citizens of the internet were also divided!
U/danondorf_campbell writes that they are seriously annoyed by their boss's habit of answering questions. Whenever this employee goes to their boss with a simple question, they get a question in response. No matter what the question is, the employee can never get a straight answer, because their boss has to reframe it into a question. The worker reports that they talked about this "multiple times (privately)" with their boss. They also suspect their boss is replying that way to avoid sounding oblivious. No doubt that their boss's habit got old really quickly.
However, the way this employee finally snapped was quite… memorable. While in a meeting with several other people, the OP decided to go on an accusatory tangent about the boss's bad habit. They apparently smoothed things over later on, but people are telling this employee that their days may be numbered at this company.

Some thought the OP was too caustic towards their boss, since the way he was called out clearly upset him. Plus, the OP called him out in front of a bunch of other coworkers, adding to the humiliation. Other people sided with the employee, saying that their complaints were valid and that they'd already tried to address it before.
