I kind of hope that "HMHP" learns of this letter from "Baffled Boss" and decides to GTFO.
I've had more than one "Baffled Boss". (While I was not simply dismissive of process, neither was I a slave to it.) In retrospect, there is only one solution: Find a different boss.
I realize this will sound harsh. Maybe I'm over-reacting, at the moment. But looking back, the longer such friction continued, the more problematic it became.
I had one boss who was smart enough to kind of figure things out, and after a rocky start we ended up getting along. Another boss who didn't understand what I did, technically, but with whom I established fairly strong mutual trust. (He in turn came through for me significantly in terms of management.)
But then, I've had some "Baffled Bosses". They simply aren't batting in your league. And eventually, they will cut you one way or another in pursuit of their own career and/or sense of well-being.
