I don't like to start sentences with "So" but I'll make an exception here:

So we got a new boss. The transition seemed harmless enough at first. Turns out, he's one of those tiny men that can't take an ounce of criticism without lashing out. The type that was beaten by his dad or by the other kids in school or both.

Anything, and I do mean any thing that goes against little Napoleon's mind, will get you into trouble. Because the little man feels attacked and he goes right to the feels instead of sticking to the facts.

We'll meet one day, in the server room, with no witnesses.

Short black man syndrome is someone who is exactly like you describe. Everything is a challenge to them, or a threat.

If you've ever met a short, black man - they tend to act like that. More chimp than champ. They have ego problems because they can't tower over you with strength.

Had one of those at a place I used to work. Guy was literally short and had an ego a million miles tall. Got kicked out of police academy for using his police powers inappropriately while still a cadet - something about informing people in a bar exactly who he was and being heard by someone with the power to tell him who he really was. Went to work at a little company I had vacated, eventually got back into academy, graduated, went to work for a little town about 30 miles east of here, walked into a redneck D&D thinking he was the cock of the walk, got shot by a rifle and went to see Jesus.

An uplifting ballad with a happy ending.
