If I Don’t Get Along with My Boss, It Is My Fault

There is something wrong with me if I cannot make this relationship go right. There is something wrong with me if my boss doesn’t treat me the way I ought to be treated. There is something wrong with me if I cannot relate to my boss.

Then again, maybe it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. Maybe there is simply something wrong, or maybe there is something wrong with your boss.

The important question is, why, if you cannot relate to your boss and you have tried every way you know how, do you stay? What keeps you stuck? Why not consider working someplace else? The decision to leave a bad situation does not automatically mean you have failed. Recognizing the breakdown of your working relationship may mean that you are beginning to take better care of yourself.

There are many reasons why work situations might be undesirable. You may not get along with your boss and it may not have anything to do with a deficiency in either of you; it may come from philosophic differences that you both are unwilling to compromise. Seeking out organizations that are more in line with your thoughts may make for a healthier work environment for you.

It may also be that your supervisor reminds you too closely of that alcoholic parent whose approval you sought and could never achieve. You judge yourself because you think you should be able to handle it better now that you are in recovery. But why should you have to handle it? Why should you use all that energy to remain stable when you could be using it in ways that will enhance your growth? Leaving a work situation that is unhealthy for you is not the same as the geographic cure taken by alcoholics.
