satisfied with / satisfied by

Hi all,

I'd like to know the difference between SATISFIED WITH and SATISFIED BY if there are any. Could we use them interchangeably in all situations ?

for example;
My boss was/ is satisfied WITH my work Vs My boss was/ is satisfied BY my work.

I was/ am satisfied WITH her Vs I was/ am satisfied BY her.

Thanks.
