I'd advise to keep your distance, set strong boundaries, and keep it professional. Whatever you think you're feeling, the power imbalance between a professor and a PhD student/postdoc is massive. universities & academia will always protect the senior man and these situations will usually turn out badly for the postdoc.

A subreddit dedicated to PhDs. PhD: my supervisors (negative) feedback seems to harsh and is hampering my productivity. So I'm in my last year as a PhD student.

How to Cope with a Problematic PhD Supervisor
Problem 1: A lack of contact. The first common problem is simply a lack of contact. This is especially common if you're doing a PhD remotely and you're entirely dependent on email for communication.

Your advisor is probably smarter than 95% of grad students in your department, so it's normal for him to think you are stupid. He's probably comparing your performance to how he would perform on similar tasks, so if he could do something in a week, he expects you to be able to do it in a week.

For some PhD students, having a lot of guidance and having their work checked regularly can be reassuring, while for others, it feels patronising.

Overwhelemed and too stupid for PhD
The first 6 months of my PhD are a wasted time. The project is incredibly challenging and it involves quite a challenging technique that is almost beyond my comprehension. The second and the biggest part of the problem is me. I am stupid and inadequate and so out of the depth of the project, even though it is my last year.
Anyone else feel too stupid to be doing a PhD?
Welcome to PhD life. This feeling never goes away. I know of established professors who feel this way. However, if this is really stressing you out then have an honest conversation about it with your supervisor (or someone else if your sup isn't someone you feel comfortable approaching about these things) and think through constructive ways to get on top of your work.
My advisor thinks I'm stupid / lazy and I hate it : r/GradSchool
My advisor thinks I'm stupid / lazy and I hate it. Basically the title. The problem started a few years ago when I had a tough few months getting over a tough breakup and was pretty unproductive. My advisor drops clear evidence that he thinks I'm an idiot and doesn't have the slightest trust or belief in me. He micromanages my research, tells ...
How I broke up with my supervisor.
My summary of her description is this: Don't talk to anyone, don't write anything non-academic. The topic is not what is important - all that matters is getting finished and being able then to move on to something interesting and collaborative.

If I'm just being a baby, totally feel free to tell me just to suck it up. No you're not being a baby. People should have the right to be treated with dignity. I'm middle-aged with a spouse and kids - I don't need to take crap from PIs my own age. You may receive flak for this statement but I agree with you on this one: PhD wages are peanuts.
15 things to remember if you've started to hate your PhD
8. Remind Yourself That PhDs Are Hard. Finding your PhD hard is kind of the point. Repeat after me: if you're finding your PhD hard it doesn't mean you're a failure, it means you're doing it right. Life is hard: commitments, bills, family, suffering, loss and day-to-day stresses. Life and doing a PhD is doubly hard.
What Makes A Good PhD Supervisor?
2. Is an Expert in their Field of Research. A good PhD supervisor should be an expert in their field.

My PhD supervisor is an idiot...and he is not alone : r/academia
Things got bad when I noticed that my supervisor was a temperamental bitch whose insecurities have to permeate through humiliating others and disqualifying in mean ways.

Can I tell my PhD supervisor honestly why I want to leave him
10. There are levels of honesty, for example redirecting attention is not lying, and honesty should be used with wisdom.
