Ooosp, you bricked his car, what's he meant to think?

Trying to talk down to me in a an annoying manner as if to say what's changed. Well nothing's changed except you because you are power tripping and have just alienated yourself and lost all trust and respect.

Have you considered that maybe you do in fact have a bad attitude, or is that not an option? lol

So I'm just one more step closer to quitting my job that I intended to do anyway

I dunno. Sounds like you've got a bad attitude towards it just from this and probably haven't been doing your job properly lol.

Everyone seems happy where I work. When you just aim to be in a place where the work culture is good it makes things much easier.

he's supposed to be a professional in a position of relative authority so he's doing himself over in reality.
it'll take a while for others to twig.

The work culture is not good where I work. Morale is damaged from all the staff pay cuts.

He's probably looking for a soft target to poke holes through and make an impression, did you defend against his claims?

sounds about right. some kind of transference going on perhaps...

if he carries on in front of others like that turn it around on him. ask if he's having problems at home and that's why he's being so arsey with you. he'll either come to his senses or blow his top which is win win for you...
