Honestly, no, thank heavens. The one job I was ever released from was on specious terms to say the least, and it was an entry level position. Since finding a career I genuinely enjoy I have not had that problem. Which is not to say that I don't some times but heads with my ISTJ supervisor... but mostly we get along. I get my work done, but sometimes I do feel that I am less free to focus on professional advancement and exciting new opportunities because my supervisor is an ISTJ and therefore doesn't have much patience for non-practical/theoretical work. But as long as I am getting those things done she is usually more okay with me spending time on learning how to code so I can teach it to the kids, or doing research on a scientific topic so I can teach it to kids, etc.

In any case, I've found that being patient (much much more than I am naturally - this is something I have HAD to cultivate), avoiding too much social time outside of work while still being cordial and kind AT work has been very helpful in staying happy and engaged in positions with supervisors who may not understand me. And in the meantime I'm developing my ability to work well with other types which will come in handy if/when I step into an even higher supervision level myself. (I'm currently middle management - I supervise a couple staff and then have a supervisor above me).
