Domande Inglese (Stati Uniti)
I'd like to ask what the sentence means.
"Your opinion carries weight with the boss."
Particularly "with the boss" is what I don't understand the meaning of at all.
This sentence is an example sentence from a dictionary in the entry for "weight(noun)".

@shantafabulous Thank you very much, I have fully understood!
I am sorry but, if I may ask one more, how about
"Your opinion carries weight FOR the boss" and
"Your opinion carries weight TO the boss"?
Are these two are okay to use instead of the original sentence?

You're welcome!
I think using to or for is unnatural.
