[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cos I work with is rude and somewhat accusatory multiple times a day. They are also uninterested in discussion and context and borderline disrespectful. The atmosphere of stress caused is unacceptable imo. Or is that just normal? [/quote]

Former COS pp here.

No, "rude" is not normal.

Whether "somewhat accusatory" is "normal" depends ... if there is something that they need to accuse you of, well then ... normal. If the "discussion and context" that you feel they avoid = excuses from you, or even explanations and just re-visiting things that are not relevant at this point, then they might need to shut that conversation down.

If the "atmosphere of stress caused is unacceptable" to you, you should look for work elsewhere. If they are truly rude and awful beyond what should be acceptable, then well ... unfortunately that probably does not matter, and it is still you who needs to move on. I've seen some truly horrific managers -- but those awful, unfair people who shouldn't be in any position of power at all are virtually never the ones to have to move on and that is just how it is (and arguably how it needs to be in many places). It isn't fair, of course, but life isn't fair. [/quote]

op - the demeanor is similar to someone who is angry with you at all times, and not respectful. And not accountable to any errors they themselves have made. I completely agree that it may not matter at the end of the day, am just curious. I'm sure they must think I'm utterly useless and therefore that it doesnt matter how they speak to me because even if I leave then it's probably a good thing (only conclusion I can draw otherwise not sure why they would behave like this). The atmosphere this person engenders is so tense that it's hard to believe. [/quote]

Does everyone else you work with feel this way about this COS? That the COS seems angry with them and that they think that they are perceived as "utterly useless"? [/quote]

op- I dont know bc i'm not close enough to any of the other directs to really candidly ask them. [/quote]
