Misunderstanding 

If you don't know where you stand with somebody, I'd say your moral compass isn't the only one that needs repairs.

Alan- I don't know where I stand with you boss.
Dave- The same place you were standing a minute ago Alan, you're standing directly in front of me, so until you choose a new set of coordinates that is where you stand with me. What is the misunderstanding here?
