Work can be tough with a difficult supervisor. Take a step back and see if you can analyze why your supervisor is being tough on you. It may be a motivational approach on their part. Perhaps they see greatness in you and seek to push you to your best. Attempt to sit down with your supervisor and discuss the matter.
