Get along
Hello again!
Could I say: "Your boss and I get along"
Is this the correct way to use the phrasal verb "get along" when meaning to say something like you and your boss are friends, that you have a good relationship?.
Or could I say: "I get along with my boss"?. Or maybe is this sentence correct grammatically but implies a different meaning?.
Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you!.
Sorry for my unclear explanation. I was referring to me and my "supposed" boss. Just both.
So if I have understood you properly I could say:
"My boss and I get along(at the job)", and:
"I get along with my boss", interchangeably?
Thank you very much again.

I get along with my boss.
My boss and I get along.
We get along with each other.
We get along.
These are all basically the same. You can even have My boss gets along with me, but that's unusual because we usually talk about our ability to fit in with our boss's view of the world, not the other way around.
