[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say but you need thicker skin. From his point of view, he could be thinking you are trying to 'lead' the project (i.e. get credit for helping the new guy). As a new hire, he probably wants to prove he can take charge, show initiative, all on his own.[/quote]

This - you should have said something at the time.

Basically, it's like a prison. [b] He went in and punched someone to show he's a badass.  You didn't knife him back - so you showed you are soft.  [/b]You had your chance.

I could be wrong, but I think this PP is onto something. You said yourself "I was pretty embarrassed and put my nose back to the grindstone."

Are you a mousy person? Someone who cares what others think of her and gets embarrassed when it's the other person who should be embarrassed?
If so, I don't think confronting this guy will work because you might not get the right tone and he may take it as you being sensitive and unable to get over it.
