I've been friends with my past managers. True, they have power over you but not all relationships are equal anyway. If your manager is good and you respect him or her, you should not have a problem doing as told and your manager wont go on a power trip. Also, if a boss is good then they will care more about you and your career growth than the company so if you have a good reason to leave, they won't be hurt. And if they have to lay you off, they can help you find a new job.
