Manager acting differently. How do I confront?

Hi, I recently went on a vacation and informed my manager (CEO) that I won’t be available for a week. He did not say anything but I could sense that he is not happy. On my vacation, I get his text asking what’s the progress at work? I Informed him about my vacation but he asks me to work for 1-2 hours ON A VACATION (This is when they promised flexibile work policy) I politely decline to which he doesn’t say anything. Now, when I’m back, he has started to micromanage and says my work is disappointing according to the standards? I could get that he must be unhappy because a few things didn’t go our way. But, his whole behaviour has changed and he has started acting hostile towards me. I try to ignore and carry on with my work but it gets on my nerves sometimes. Do I continue silently or should I confront? If yes, then how?

Your boss didnt take the previous "no" well...not sure if confronting is a good idea. Try to ignore for a few days, he would gradually become normal. If not, casually try to enquire the reason for his changed behaviour.

That’s a terrible boss you got there. I’d recommend letting it slide, and do your best. Be polite.

But…. Keep an eye out for better opportunities, cause you’ll need it in the long term. Or maybe even in the immediate term.
