Yes , you are 100% correct....rudeness will only worse the situation. 

and regarding your prob, I think bosses have this superior inferior thing…I mean they think that if you decide over a thing it might turn into a practice or they might have this -- I am the boss kind of an attitude.—but a good boss always leaves  a good space to grow , develop our persona and respects our views.
