1 I am good with John.

Does that mean anything?
Does it mean:
a I am kind to him (I am good TO him)
b I get along with him
c Together we work well
Or
d I am fine with his taking a particular responsibility

2 I am good with John as manager.


I think 1 could mean 'c' and 'd'. 2 sounds fine to me.

Gratefully,
Navi.

1.) The person in question is happy/satisfied with John. So it should be "b". But strictly workwise, it could be "c".
2.) Sounds ok, but I think it should be "as a manager".
