Seems like my manager doesn’t know how to teach and gets visibly upset if you don’t know the answer right away. How do you deal with this passive aggressive nature?

That's a weird question.

Is it something you should know the answer to?

How long have you been working there?

It depends. Do you come to your manager with the question? do you put an effort into researching the solution yourself first? And then coming to your manager with the few scenarios and your own point of view, which manager can correct/approve?
Either way, I’d probably talk to your manager saying that you would like to grow with the company and ask this “what can I do differently?” and be open minded and don’t take it personally :) we all have some room for improvement.

Agreed, sometimes I feel like I’m pidgeonholed where I won’t be able to progress to assistant controller etc. so maybe it’s just the culture and the way people react

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.
