I have been on a bench for three months so volunteering internally. Got assigned to work with an a manger. He is extremely rude. Expects me to work after 6 and have works ready at 9.30Am. His messages are plain rude. For example I shared a deck with him and he replied I already have that deck(that was after he had shamelessly told me on the first call that he has no clue and needs me to dig documents up). Do I complain about him to his manager? Do I suck it up or be rude to him?

Your example doesn't seem like an issue at all. If someone sent me instructions at 7:00 at night expecting a deliverable first thing in the morning, they'd be sorely disappointed as I wouldn't even see the request.

Set a boundary on work hours. If he pushes or claims it'll impact your performance evals, escalate. If you get no support, go to another employer.

And he repeated same thing today. Sent a message at 5.52pm asking me to have something ready by tomorrow.
He doesn’t even add words like please with his messages. I thought that is part of basic training

Find somewhere else to volunteer then tell him that you don’t have bandwidth to help. And you can make up reason that the new work is more aligned with your aspirations.

Really sorry to hear! Try to make the best out of the situation and continue to work hard and be kind. Unfortunately it won’t be the last time that you’ll work with someone like that and you can learn a lot about how to manage people by being managed by someone with a poor attitude! Every rude comment and mistake he makes will reinforce how you will manage people differently than him. And if that doesn’t work, definitely find someone outside of work to trash talk this dude!

If you really like the company and the job then begin to document everything in order to present a strong case if hi escalate this to his boss. Also check on company policies about off-hour requests especially for a non managerial position. If you don’t care about the company then look for a new job. Unfortunately managers make or break a job experience.
