37M Autistic/Aspergers High Support/Functioning.
I was at a job where our boss got made redundant 5 years in, so for the next 3, until I got made redundant, my co-worker/now friend for life (BFF) continued working like he told us/taught us how to run our work environment, we didn't know any better, all authority figures were gone, cats way mice will play etc.
Forward to current day, I am in a new job with another boss (history repeating) where they have retired, yet I still find I am doing the same things I was told, even though they are gone/the link in the chain is broken.
Does anyone else do this? how can you stop? should I stop? I do have a new boss, but they keep saying business as usual, so I don't know if it is just my overthinking or there is a solution.
