Sure, you are in a new department with a new boss, but it’s smooth sailing from here. Nothing can stop you now.
There is a common circumstance that can make the road of even the most focused and determined career professional pretty rocky for anyone in the situations mentioned above. It is the dilemma a being under the supervision of a leader who is sadly lacking; one who is simply a horrible boss.
