Yup. It was my CCO. Ended up getting let go before I had a chance to quit. But I started looking for a new job pretty shortly after I figured out the CCO was not a fan.

All you can do is ask to change groups or quit and go somewhere else. Unless you think you can win said CD over somehow, but you should know if that’s a battle worth fighting or not.

Three relevant stories from my career:
-CCO didn’t like me. I got laid off.
-CD supervisor didn’t like me; claimed I was gonna take his job. I took his fucking job.
-My wonderfully talented office CCO inherited an enterprise-wide CCO boss who seemed to hate her. She eventually won him over.

It’s been my experience that ur boss not liking u can lead to any number of outcomes. Many of them good. Kinda depends on you.

Be professional and ask for a sit down where you ask what you can improve. Maybe it’s one thing that annoys them or something you did but they are harboring some negative feelings towards you. If they are a good leader they will be honest and professional about your performance. If they are just an asshole or won’t give feedback then it’s time to move on.

Keep your distance, kill em with kindness. Understand there are just miserable people out there and you can’t change their mind.
