TLDR: Supervisor is pissed I’m better at his job and had a tantrum for the second time publicly that brought HR down like lightning.

So for some much needed context this is now the second time I have posted this man making a total ass of himself and getting insta karma straight to the dome.
I am a handyman/maintenance tech in an apartment building. Red is my supervisor (no real power, hetero mean old man) and is constantly angry at me because I’ve been here a month and have raised their google score (I am actually named in 5 reviews as a positive) and strengthened their pretty unstable relationship with their customers. How? Well I’m nice and I actually fix things instead of slapping a coat of paint on it and yelling at the resident about “responsibility”. Imagine that.
Red is not good at his job, has zero actual power beyond assigning tasks and ordering parts (neither of which he actually does) and is visibly angry and jealous that I am making him look like the clown he is.
Well after spending five minutes explaining to me that I’m not professional and “having too much fun at work”, he proceeded to have this little tantrum in the group chat which brought HR down like God Herself.

This felt like the scene in Jurassic Park where they had to call another dinosaur to deal with the one chasing them.

For context: I knew full well my boss was going to try and break the law so I've started asking stupid questions in the group chat to bait him into activating HR.

Also worth mentioning my last job is being sued by several people for similar issues, and they are losing on all fronts.
