moanllght's journey

I started a new corporate job less than two weeks ago, and I'm already facing some challenges with my boss's behavior. During the interview process, I was excited about the supportive environment everyone talked about, especially my boss, who emphasized that I could contribute as much or as little as I wanted while I learned the ropes. Initially, it seemed true, but things have taken a turn. In my first week, my boss assigned me a project and asked me to reach out to him and a coworker for the necessary information. I did that promptly, and he responded positively. However, I was later added to a meeting about a significant initiative with only five minutes' notice, where I was told to just listen. After the meeting, my boss questioned why I didn't contribute, even though I had no context or background on the project. It felt odd and a bit unfair, given that I was there to learn. As the week progressed, my boss seemed to become more stressed, especially after a reprimand from his supervisor regarding our hybrid work situation. He asked me to come into the office on a day I was supposed to work remotely to 'prove' we were together, which felt inconvenient and unnecessary. The main issue arose when my boss pressed me for updates on the project, despite me still waiting for responses to my earlier requests for information. When I mentioned this, he became condescending and expressed doubts about my ability to do the job. This was surprising since I was still waiting for guidance, and I felt like he had shifted from being accommodating to critical very quickly. Eventually, he responded to my week-old email with the information I needed but made a comment about feeling like he was 'pulling teeth' to get updates. He also copied a coworker on this email, which felt disrespectful and embarrassing. I managed to complete a significant part of the project quickly once I received the materials, even though I felt discouraged by our earlier interactions. I'm looking for advice on how to address this situation with him in person this week. I want to set clear boundaries early on, as I don't appreciate the way he communicated with me, especially with a coworker involved. I believe I shouldn't feel discouraged this early in my job, and I need to discuss the feedback style he's using, which doesn't work well for me.
