My supervisor never praises me, even when I do something far beyond my job scope. Instead, he likes to criticize me and show off his pride. He often uses himself as an example, saying what he would do if he were in my position, but when issues actually occur, he pretends he didn’t know anything and only comments a lot after the problem is resolved. How should I motivate myself when I’m reporting to this kind of supervisor?

Do your best to ignore his nonsense and focus on putting out the best quality work possible. You shouldn't be relying on anyone but yourself for validation. As far as motivating yourself goes, use his negative attitude as motivation to learn as much as you can so you can get out of there and away from him as soon as possible.

Thanks for your kind words, it helps alot

I am really sorry to hear that. I have had supervisors like that and it is very unmotivating. I would definitely find a job where you are appreciated and praised.
