I'll preface this by saying that I usually love my boss, I've definitely got one of the good ones - apart from today.
I had a meeting today with senior management. I'm the accounts manager and we're going through a bit of a changeover. I was asked to attend the meeting to provide a report; in the past I've provided documentation, but with the complexity, it was felt being able to answer questions was a good idea - fine with me.
Except, my line manager talked over me. Now, what I was saying was technical. I needed to provide this technical level (for minuting/audit requirements which must be done) before I explained it in layman's terms (which my line manager knew), but while I was at the first point, my boss was talking over me explaining the layman's terms - leaving me looking a bit daft as after I'd finished the technical bit, I had nothing else to say when the point of me being there was to explain the technical terms.
I want to discuss it, but I can't think of a way to phrase it without it sounding a bit petty. It's not the first time it has happened, but I'm not very good at dealing with issues, and I really don't want to offend anyone - I can see why my boss may have done it; we have differing styles, so I want to discuss it professionally.
Any ideas?
