Why would a boss who you knew for years as a coworker keep talking to you about how they have power over you and they’re glad they no longer are at?

Your level anymore? I get maybe he’s joking around but also why keep making such jokes to me? He also doesn’t talk about himself or ask about me except to talk about how he’s got more responsibility or about the things he’s doing at his level and generally I don’t ask.
it’s just weird. Like when he makes the jokes it’s like ok what do you want me to say to that?

sometimes he makes jokes like ‘don’t worry you’re not in trouble’ uh ok?

It's never a joke! 😔 He flat out insulted you!

People pretend it's a joke when they are telling their honesty!

But if you go to HR... Omg it's a joke

It's only a joke if your both laughing. This was an insult! Siblings do it constantly

Only you can tell if they’re jokes. But a boss shouldn’t be abusing their power. Is your HR of any use?

[Koynnky]

He’s a nice guy. It’s just that he says this stuff. Like isn’t there anything else to say? xD

Power trippin and worse, he awkwardly likes you. 🚩

Because he's a dick. Good enough answer for me.

Because he's an insecure little bitch
