Is there a simpler, less costly repair?

AT THE OFFICE: Same old job, but a new boss: How can you adjust?
Q: I still have my job — sort of. Because I have a new boss, it feels new. With all of the reorganizing that's happened in my company, I'm losing my bearings. I had relied on the longtime relationship I had with my manager, and wonder how I can get re-established.
