Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

(UK BASED) PwC have a 3 month notice period here. The audit I’m on for for the next 3 months has a draconian manager who treats it like a dictatorship. When I get my results in 2 weeks I plan to leave immediately or give a 1/2 week notice. Can any repercussions occur from this? Surely they won’t seek legal action.
