Not sure what to do here?

Question

My supervisor and I ..are.. I suppose friends. We talk through emails outside of work. Now as a supervisor he is great anytime I have any questions. He's always very helpful and any situations come up I notify him and he takes care of it. Now the other night right after work something came up and I called him after work to tell him what happened he told me not to freak so I said ok and left it at that. Then when I went into work yesterday I wrote down the issue and reminded him of what we talked about on the phone and he said he'd take care of it so at the end of shift I asked him if he took care of it and he got an attitude with me about it saying yes I took care of it and it's send! I was just completely appauled by that. He never acted funky like that towards me. Then lately I notice he doesn't say Hi or anything to me anymore when I come into work. I don't know if he's just annoyed by me or what...I mean we're not close friend wise after work just email each other..I'm not sure if

I'm not sure if I should confront him at work or ask him why he got funky in an email???? I don't think it was necessary of him, especially as a supervisor, to get all funky and junk on me. I did not appreciate that one bit! He used to always say Hi and ask how I was doing at work and now he acts as if I am not there. I don't recall doing anything to offend him in anyway so I dk whats up his butt but its ticking me off!!

Any suggestions on what to say without offending him or making him pissed!!?!??! Thanks! I mean I apologized to him saying I was sorry to be a spaz about the issue but my conscience keeps bugging me until something is done right!

Thanksto all you guys! He told me he was just having a bad day that night. I asked him at work last night finally!! So I guess everythings ok. How come we snap accidently on folks if we're having a bad day??

Answer 1

I guess he just got cheesed off at your nagging, but you already apologised. I suggest you leave it at that. If you belabor the point, you'll only get him cheesed off again. It will prey on you for a while more and then you'll wonder what got you and why you lost sleep over it. Just continue to do your job well and if you need to speak to him on work, don't hesitate to do so, but don't bring up the matter again. All the best to you.

Answer 2

He probably felt as if, your being so consistent was indicating that he was not doing his job. People read things different sometimes more/less than others and maybe you appeared to be a tid bit too pushy and you might need to back up for a while and let him have some space. Eventually he will come around and at that time you might find an opportunity to apologize if need be.

Answer 3

Don't mince words just tell him outright and get it off your chest.We all do and say things that we regret and he may be feeling just as upset as you.Just confront him and just apologise if you have done something wrong.I'm sure he might have maybe some problems of his owm and may have a lot on his mind at the moment.Anyway I'm sure you can sort it out together.

Answer 4

He may be looking for higher quality input and output. It may be that you could have resolved the problem on your own if you had given it thought. We all have bad days, and you may have aggravated him with the outside email. He may be also telling you that you inflate the problem. You told him once, if he is a good friend, that should have been sufficient. 3 times is nagging.
