I know some people who constantly butt heads with their supervisors, I never understood that. As a result they're constantly on the shit list and the funny thing is, they never seem to understand why.

That's always been the way I operated, but my old boss knew within the first month the way I operated and gave me all the leeway necessary to get the job done. I never had to deal with him breathing over my shoulder at every turn and telling me the way I needed to be doing things, my old boss was an "as long as you get your work done correct and in a timely fashion, I will leave you alone" kind of guy, whereas my new boss is a "I am going to get involved in every aspect of how you do things, and I'm going to make you conform to my outdated (seriously who goes from using a computer system back to the old "print paperwork for everything you do, and maintain file cabinets full of paperwork) methods" kind of guy. Run-on sentences aside, I've been following all his instructions for how I need to do my job, so we'll see. I'm not trying to burn any bridges here just because I had it good with my old boss.
