Well I don't think people are necessarily judging me harshly. It's more a case of the hiring committee keeps overlooking me- the competition is really stiff.

I think it's more a fear in my case. I do need to be on good terms with my boss. I need to have strong references in order to get a job offer. If my boss thinks poorly of me, I could get fired. If I'm fired, it makes it that much harder to find the next job.
So ultimately, being on good terms with people is important for job security.
