I think that the most important is, solve the boss problem and Keep Business Relationships Professional. Here in Brazil we have a phrase for when people ask if it's good to have a relationship in a job, we tell, "in the place that you receive the bread, we don't eat the meat", which means, do not have relationships in your job.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
