In the case of my boss, I've concluded it is fear-based. Every manager I've had in the last few years has feared me, because I am usually decades older and more experienced in life and work than they. And the work environment right now is so incredibly fear-based. I suspect things are terribly wrong at the new job, at least with the client I'm assigned to. The client has lost a lot of "retail" business (versus institutional/pension type business) and it's easy to blame us. The reality is that the entire stock market has lost a large number of individual investors, who woke up to the reality of how gamed the system is and have gotten out asap since '08.
Everybody else, too, yes. Easier to attack someone than acknowledge their mistakes and/or feel their own fear.
I also find the more relaxed and confident I feel, look and act, the more I come under personal attack. The more patient I am with others, the more impatient they are with me, too. A lot of them looking for a fight to avoid dealing with whatever.
