That&#x27;s interesting, because my personal experience has been the polar opposite of that. It doesn&#x27;t matter if I&#x27;m working on sending people to Mars (a problem that I&#x27;d find very interesting), if I can&#x27;t get along with my manager any my co-workers, I&#x27;m out. On a more practical level, my manager is responsible for my performance reviews. If I don&#x27;t have a rapport with him or her, then my time at the company is limited, regardless of how much I want to stay.
