There are a few things you could try. It does depend a lot on the manager whether it’ll work or not. I will frame questions as an A or B answer, which one is better? Also, figure out how they want to receive those questions: email, a 1:1, etc.
Thanks for sharing
I wish I could come up with a question that would get my boss to ignore me for days, that would be spectacular. Seriously, your boss sounds like an oddball. If he is blocking you from doing well in the role, get serious about finding something else. If someone acts weird they're not going to change, it's not like the not-weird version of them will show up eventually.
Good luck with yours
Isn't it amazing that these bosses get promoted?
They are called egotistical "toxic" bimbos.
Unfortunately, you can't change them. And when layoff time comes, they will be protected while the good people get the axe.
I recommend kissing his ass as much as possible to feed his ego while looking for another job. But remember that the grass is not always greener somewhere else. However, if you get a raise to go somewhere else, that offsets the BS you have to deal with.
People should be paid more money to deal with bad bosses. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in.
