To All Directors Out There: Bing Rude Doesn’t Help Your Team in Any Way

I have been with this company for around seven months now. The team and my manager are great, but the director, who is my manager's manager, straight up sucks. He scolds senior members in front of everyone and says we shouldn't use terms like some. Instead, he expects us to explain the entire problem, even if it's related to another team's issue, which feels like complete nonsense.

Today, during our call, he started bashing the team, saying you're not doing this, you're not doing that. At one point, a senior member stepped away due to some dependency, and they needed something from the backend logic, so I had to pitch in. But because of the environment he's created, I couldn't debug it properly or provide the requested information. As soon as he left the call, I was able to find the information and shared it with my manager. My manager then said, This is exactly what he was looking for the entire time, and even my senior said they would have provided the same information if they'd been there.

This whole thing is making me feel really bad, and I am not sure how to move past it. I feel like shit. Is this a me problem, or is this just how the human brain works?
