My issues have always revolved around supervisor's expectations. I guess you can say I have had some very poor workplace experiences which have shaped my view of them.

One of my workplaces has a couple of supervisors who couldn't be direct, and I am the type of person who means what I say and say what I mean. I would always ask my supervisor, "is there anything you'd like me to work on?" or I'd ask "do you have any feedback for me?" It was always no, no, and no...that is, until my supervisor felt the need to write me up for such poor performance and then I ended up having a meeting with her supervisor's supervisor (which was nerve-wracking and traumatic).

Another supervisor LOVED working in chaos and if things were disorderly, the better (in spite of him getting into trouble with it all the time). I would clearly express what I needed to do my job well, and even he said I went above and beyond. Then at another job the expectations always changed and were made arbitrarily, and it depended on who you talked to and what day it was and what mood they were in, etc.

I think you can say my issues have revolved around supervisors and their expectations. I've asked in interviews casually "what type of person will the supervisor work best with?" and was just given some generic canned answer.
