Have a coworker that acts like my boss and it enrages me.

I’m sick of the way he treats me. Either I’m being corrected over extremely minor things like not grabbing a “bag of clean rags” from the back instead just a handful, I say something and he acts exasperated like I’m an idiot, or he criticize me like when I was just learning how to use a new bore gage tool for the sector gear holes and felt the need to be snarky about how I need a lot more practice in general when all I said was I need more practice with just the brand new tool.

He’s got a lot more experience than I do, and constantly rubs it in my face and talks shit about other coworkers when they make mistakes. It enrages me and I don’t know what to do.

I almost snapped at him and wanted to scream “Fuck off and leave me alone” but stayed silent and left the room.

What should I do? Should I just keep avoiding him whenever possible and ignore him? I’m 1st shift and he’s 2nd and just shows up early, so it’s not too hard to avoid him.

Should I confront him, or should I go to my boss/HR?
