The vice president told me I was being disrespectful during a conversation. I asked how and she told me that I "knew what I was doing". I asked again, stating that I had asked because I didn't actually know and was told she didn't have time

He hears nothing of what you're actually saying, even when he takes you aside and asks for input (which is rare). Even after a discussion, 5 minutes later he doesn't remember a word you said, no matter how important the subject.
