Ok MN vipers tell me how it is
At work today we're doing a big project worth millions blah blah - one leader and everyone else has their job to do at various bits - we're all specialist in our fields
After the meeting today one bloke, same level as me but slightly different role - his is short term whereas mine is longer as in it's within my management structure for its duration (-'along with loads of other things so it's essentially being run by my staff once it gets off the ground but long term my responsibility)
Today he managed, within 20 seconds to say
Hi, thanks for doing XYZ (my clearly defined role and very pivotal so important in context of today but essentially we're all delivering equally important roles, but what I do had FUCK ALL to do with him in the slightest and never would even be something he's considered able to do or give views on)) ... then, whilst my face was turning to stone and the frown started as I felt he was 'thanking me' for doing this thing for HIM he continued with .... did you see B (our other colleague) wasn't very clued up (because it's not her job ... she does other things which weren't discussed today that he s has zero experience or ruling over) I'm sure she'll catch up with me soon - I'll meet with her and make sure she does blah blah
I was stunned and quite abrupt saying well P I think if you deliver what you're supposed to do we can manage our own bits - he whittered on about things which I'm assuming he thought I had no experience with and I told him that's very normal and we're used to this but the thing you need to deliver always gets left til the last minute an d you perhaps can ensure that's covered?
I can't work out if
I'm being precious
He's trying to step on heads to elevate himself and make sure he 'manages us'
He's a male chauvinist (he's a man and we're both girls)

Should I run and hide from the feedback here
