Sometimes you just don’t get along with your boss.

It may be you, it may be the supervisor, but either way, you aren’t compatible.

Michigan State University studied 280 pairs of managers and direct reports.

They surveyed how employees see the relationship with the manager.

Separately, they asked the managers the same questions.

Once you both own up to your disagreements, you could move on and get to work.

Sometimes, though, a boss just doesn’t have quality management skills.
