This seems more than petty childish behavior to me. This might sound very much out there, but for the sake of argument, just hear me out. Are you sure your company isn't downsizing? All of his actions so far point to the possibility that he (the company?) wanted you to quit. And if he (they) did want you to quit, he (they) could have given you the pink slip? The most obvious question that follows is, why you. Well, you did say you joined them recently, so there's less to worry about the knowledge transfer. Maybe they want to save on the severance package? Maybe they want to do it quietly without spreading panic? The whole thing seems a bit suspicious to me. If you choose not to investigate, just make sure you deal with it professionally - see vishaldpatel's response [1]. A part of me tells me that you may just have dodged a bullet. Good luck for your future. :) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5951062 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5951062
